No doubt check summing support's been around for a while, ASIC Md5 is dirt cheap. Yes VMware shipped with it about a decade ago in ESXi but that was dependent on host NIC support. OSX may ship with the driver support but I'm having trouble finding hardware specs to verify hardware support. I said "not super standard" and "customer grade" I didn't say it wasn't supported at all.

As to the specific subset; TCP Segmentation Offload. As was mentioned in the article.

Bitwarden.

Personally, I use KeePass with Syncthing but pay for a Bitwarden Family account for my spouse and family members.

I migrated from LastPass, to Enpass, and finally to KeePass. Bitwarden basically checks all the boxes for me, but I prefer to control my own data without having to run and maintain the Bitwarden server for the rest.

We know Russia helped a Republican be elected US president in 2016. There's a whole 400+ page report exhaustive going through the available evidence.

"maybe a us president be so gleeful about a foreign country interfering in our elections" isn't a leftist stance. Branding any opposition to the GOP narrative that Russia is "fake news" as leftism is just pure partisan hackery.

To put it another way - from an "immediate risk" point of view, the largest danger from critical-capable amount of fissile material is the prompt radiation emitted during a criticality: the pulse of neutrons, gamma and x-rays thrown off during that period the unit is sustaining a chain reaction.

For relatively brief power excursions like this one (which Slotin himself stopped by removing the reflector), the prompt burst was well over a lethal level but the radiation dose-rate from fission product decay even a tiny time later would not be immediately hazardous.

It behooves one to read the comment thread replying to Dr. Krugman's post.

Many arguments emphasizing the disparity between real output vs. employment in manufacturing. Paul Krugman is wrong surprisingly often about these sorts of things. He cherry-picks one graph and says that this graph, combined with the opinions of cherry-picked esteemed colleagues, supports his conclusion, when ample evidence exists and is provided in near-real-time to refute it.

Spotting first order effects is relatively easy. It's not terribly hard to examine a system and point out some flaw or inefficiency. What's hard is coming up with a better solution that doesn't cost more in unintended consequences.

One unintended consequence of our malpractice law in the US is a tremendous amount of time and money spent by physicians purely to avoid lawsuits. Obviously medical malpractice is real, and should exist. But there are costs associated with ever increasing the scope and ability to medical practitioners to be sued.
Is it common for modern used cars to not last 8 years? I know lots of people driving cars that are 10-15 years old at this point.
I completely understand and almost always share your reaction. Socratic CAN be done well - The novel Starship Troopers is actually like that...the arguments may not be your first pick, but you consider them all reasonable, and then you discover you're supporting fascism! It requires you to back up and find where you made a false connection.

Unfortunately, the most common usage is at best ineffective, for as you say, they will dictate some logical jump I don't agree with, so when they disprove it in favor of their point I remain unconvinced as my own argument hasn't been addressed at all.

At worst, it's infuriating.
We're not even acknowledging that climate change exists despite 99.999% of scientists agreeing.

Hoping that we'll actually prepare for a pandemic seems remarkably long sighted for such a short sighted species as ours.
> Gas mileage is a very marginal improvement in any of the vehicles I'm interested in, on the order of 16 mpg then to maybe 20, now.

There are a lot more technical jobs that require a degree than 3m software developers. There are dozens of different types of engineering and scientific domains apart from software development.
I think it's not a coincidence that one of Facebook's flagship partners is MercadoLibre, the Argentine ecommerce giant. Argentina's YOY inflation rate will "slow" to 34 percent this year - if all goes well.[1] The Argentines I know making monthly salaries are used to saving money in foreign currencies anyway. (HN Argentines, feel free to correct me on that point.)

Many of us live in places where we can rely on our regional currencies to remain stable. Maybe the pound will flounder under Brexit, the Euro under the debt crisis or the dollar under whatever the trade war is supposed to be doing, but there's little or no public will to divest from national currencies, and the main reason anyone would dip into cryptocurrencies is speculation. Also we're hackers and distrust Facebook. Fine - we're not the target demographic.

I think the general population of Argentina, India, Venezuela, etc etc, _are_ the target demographic. The idea would be to make savings, payments, and digital purchases for people in developing or unstable economies reliable, inflation resistant, and low-fee - particularly vs forex. As a bonus for us hackers, I'm sure every Orwellian data scraping fever dream you can imagine is rolled in too - but most people aren't hackers, so whether this is a showstopper remains to be seen.

I'm not just spitballing here - Facebook claim this to be so.[2] Thiel and Altman's Reserve Currency works basically the same way, with the same ambitions[3]. The implications are _much_ bigger than Johnny-come-latelies from Menlo Park stumbling into the blockchain hype - which seems to be the prevailing take here. What we're seeing is tech giants betting big on having total ownership over banking and purchases in much of the world's population.

Pedantic technical note: Reserve is moving in a three phase sequence from USD collateralization (like Tether / Coinbase's token) to algorithmic stabilization against a basket of goods (not currencies), whereas Facebook is skipping to phase three and using a basket of currencies as the peg. (It's an open question how this will be accomplished, since Libra's whitepaper won't be released until tomorrow.)

y, I'm not sure websites for podcasts are a problem.

If you host with castos.com or transistor.fm you get a mini site where your podcasts live on their domains. So I'm not sure having a website is an issue for most podcasts.

I think a podcast website offering would probably be easier coming from their podcast hosting company that way the website and podcasts are with the same company.

So it doesn't seem like a natural fit for the company doing the editing.

No, you are extrapolating that based off your understanding. Improved mitochondria might...mean nothing.

In cancer, we see all the time the ability to get a cell we know is important into a tumor does not, necessarily, associate with clinical benefit. The same goes here. The ability to improve one small piece of biology does not mean, necessarily, that you will see a larger, emergent effect. Biology is much more complicated than that.

On top of which, it's factually wrong. GOTO (also in caps) was used in COBOL for years before it showed up in BASIC.
What you are building looks really nice and seems like it could totally fill a niche of its own. I've done a lot of work in similar areas and I'm very impressed.

BTW, as a creative person, I personally can't stand it when people's only comment is "have you seen X Y and Z which are similar to what you've built?" I get it, reinventing the wheel isn't always the best use of time, but I wish people realized how much of a wet blanket that sort of comment can be, especially if it is unaccompanied by any other insights about your work. It seems to imply that you haven't done anything worthwhile or unique, and your efforts are a waste of time.

I hope you continue to build this out into a product. Good luck with it and congrats on all your successes at a very young age.

This is the one time I vehemently disagree with Schneier. Creating mass censorship infrastructure to automatically ban stuff that isn't "truthy" can easily be abused for totalitarian ends. He's right that it would be easier to set up such infrastructure if you have an apolitical pretext, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.

I created a tree map out of it: https://void4.github.io/allgermans/americans.html

Previously, one with all Germans: https://void4.github.io/allgermans/Germany.html
With touchscreens, there's always the balance of putting the screen in line-of-sight while driving while keeping it close enough to be touchable. I like the touchpad system in the new Acura RDX the most as a compromise, has most of the accuracy of a touchscreen (still lets you draw letters and stuff) while retaining the haptic nature of the knob/buttons (position on the touchpad is absolute -- tapping the top left corner of the touchpad means you're tapping the top left corner of the screen). Plus it has the advantage of not having your hand block the screen when you're trying to touch it.

Otherwise, the Mazda knob works well enough. I think most of the power user complaints could be addressed by better default behavior or customization on what a scroll/click does on certain screens.

Android Auto/CarPlay is easily the most distracting system I've used. The only benefit is if I choose to be distracted while driving, it's less distracting than using my phone. Being distracted while driving is a _choice_ and sadly one that many drivers want to have.
Excellent list.

What I think gets overlooked in this conversation is, human drivers routinely break the law in "innocent" ways. If self-driving cars follow the rules in ways that human drivers fail to, the self-driving cars are already safer in numerous ways.

I used to think those doomsday preppers are crazy, not anymore.
You are perfectly right. This series was a good opportunity to actually show people how radiation works. They did make a good step by step of how the disaster unfolded though, which is great. Just above I made the point that most people don't understand how radioactivity works and they will probably mostly pick up the details of the series that are added for dramatic effect since they're mixed with real events. TV series have a strong influence on people's beliefs. My comment wasn't too appreciated.

Being irradiated does not really make human tissue radioactive. You absorb the radiation particles, not the radioactive material emitting it. But ingesting, inhaling, or absorbing the material through the skin will not only kill the person (from the inside), it will also make the remains dangerous enough to not want them seeping into the ground. Now the tissue carries around the radiation source. [0]

To use the bullet analogy from the series, what I said above is akin to being shot with bullets or ingesting a gun that's still firing. The first case might kill you, the second case will definitely kill you but it won't really kill others unless they plan on ingesting you, firing-gun and all.

> If I told you I was going to beat you up and steal your money every night, it doesn't mean you should just smile and accept it as inevitable, even if that's really my plan

I didn't say smile and accept it. I said "adjust your lifestyle". The rules changed, so how you play needs to change with it.

If you tell me you're going to beat me up and take my money every time you see me, I'm going to make sure we don't cross paths.

My point is that there is no reason to be surprised at what is happening because people have been telling us that is what will happen.

The fact is, there are a bunch of people who are in effect living a life of "He told me he'd beat me up and take my money every day, and sure enough every time I see him, he beats me up and takes my money, but maybe tomorrow he won't!"

When someone shows you their cards, take advantage of it, is all I'm saying.

> The large tech companies point to our willing use of their services as proof that people don’t really care about their privacy. But this is like arguing that inmates are happy to be in jail because they use the prison library.

I used to really enjoy Maciej as a writer, but I've become really bothered by how bad some of his recent arguments are. This is just an amazingly bad analogy. Structurally, it's on the level of the standard libertarian "proof" that income tax is morally equivalent to slavery. Even though there seems to be some analytical validity in both cases, they are obviously bad analogies because slavery is obviously not the same as income tax, and ad tracking networks are obviously not the same as being in prison. This is a cute rhetorical flourish, but nothing more.

The truth is, most people don't care about this stuff. They really just don't. You might want them to, and you might think they would if they had the same understanding of the issues as you do, but as of today, they don't. And I don't see any benefit to the mental gymnastics people go through to avoid accepting this obvious truth.
“Maybe I was naive”

Why don’t I take my entire life and give it to tech companies? That seems like a good idea! I’ll just upload all my tax returns and other critical documents to the cloud because the cloud is well thought out and rock solid. I know this because software of all kinds is known to be well thought out and written in a pragmatic and thoughtful manner. There have never been instances of people exploiting flaws in software or the companies that maintain software. The web is not broken and is definitely not a precarious mountain of turds held together with scotch tape. The web is rock solid and I will trust it with my very life. My whole career depends on a twitter account and i have never tried to lessen my reliance on a single twitter account. Having my entire career depend on a twitter account is a safe and prudent thing to do. I have children.
I guess this applies for Java and C++ style "classes". This does not precisely apply to the first ANSI-standardized OOP system, Common Lisp's. Standard classes do not own methods, instead methods are specializations of a generic function that stands alone and dispatches on the class types (or EQL values) of all its arguments.

I'd really like it if Uncle Bob eventually has his fill of Clojure and moves on to explore what Common Lisp built decades earlier, then blogs about that too.
Your rationale does not address the core argument of the piece, which is that as reliance on intermittent energy sources approaches 100%, their cost will rise steeply.

> I found out about things like "baby boxes" that allow mothers to relinquish newborns anonymously.

Laws permitting that sort of thing only exist in certain jurisdictions. All 50 US states now have laws allowing parents to anonymously abandon infants to certain "safe places" (such as hospitals, fire stations, etc)–usually it is limited to the first 30 days or so of life. However, many of those laws are actually written so that either birth parent can legally do this, although in practice it would mainly be the mother. Also, if the other parent is aware this has happened, they can intervene and object to the process. By contrast, in England and Wales, for either parent to do this is a criminal offence (although they are unlikely to be prosecuted in practice)

> Although I wonder if in the case where the father assumes custody, the mother (who wanted to give up the child

In general, most child support statutes are written in a gender-neutral way. The custodial parent can claim financial support from the non-custodial parent, irrespective of their genders. (Or even, in some cases of joint and equal custody, one custodial parent may be able to claim support from the other.) So, even though in practice it mostly involves non-custodial fathers paying money to custodial mothers, if the father has custody, the mother can be made to pay child support. Even though it is less common, it can and does happen [1]

In one case of which I am personally aware, here in Australia, the mother had full custody of two boys. But, she wasn't sending the boys to school (among other issues); so their father went to court, and got full custody of them awarded to him instead. Legally he has the right to claim child support from her, although it is unlikely in practice he's going to get any significant money out of her (she's unemployed and of no fixed address, etc.)

Good point. Maybe he's just referring to the fact that the diversion was timed to coincide with the handoff, and not the entire series of maneuvers.
Depends on what sort of commands it supports, how well it needs to handle background noise, and how advanced their on-device voice recognition tech is.

For a company like Samsung, yes they very well may need internet access to do voice recognition at an acceptable level of quality. It's worth noting that both Amazon Alexa and Google Home also implement their voice assistant features that way. Google did recently move to on-device voice recognition on phones in the newest version of Android, but that was only possible to do without sacrificing quality thanks to some new advances in their machine learning tech.

Cooperative AI Beats Humans at Quake CTF
With the rate at which electronic safety features are advancing, I think the advantages of buying used have fallen a bit. A new base-model Corolla currently has more electronic safety features than a high-trim 3-4 year old Avalon or Lexus. That's a recent phenomenon, though, and it might be a temporary condition if the rate of improvement of those systems slows down.
That's a fallacious argument though, because at the lower end tech jobs pay more than other careers but result in you being exploited by corporations looking to drive wages down.

When I graduated, there were companies offering me 30-40k a year in cities like Seattle. I have friends that could tell you the same story, some who took the opportunity because of the entry level market being saturated.

Bootcamp graduates are often placed in incredibly exploitative contracting environments (often in companies that also underpay, abuse and threaten H1Bs) which are farmed out to larger companies looking to get work done cheap. Though this has just been my personal experience and that of my friends. They leverage desperation.
