Regarding the Embr, while I'm not actually insinuating foul play per se, I generally ignore reviews that appear on the manufacturer's own website, for obvious reasons.

If anyone has first-hand experience with these devices, I'd love to hear it! There doesn't seem to be a ton of critic coverage, and what there was didn't really go over how well it works in detail.

I'd readily buy one if I trusted that it could actually be effective.

But that's not the situation we're in. We can't plant enough trees without destroying a lot of cities. There are in fact better places to place trees than other places, besides the fact that we can't plant enough and they don't do enough fast enough. The issue is that we currently don't have a full solution. We're close, but not all the way there.
The UNIX foundation of NeXTSTEP was there only to help bring software into the platform and having a foot on workstation market.

NeXTSTEP application development in Objective-C, or for that matter Mac OS X in Objective-C/Swift, has anything to do with its UNIX based foundation.

The fact that many have bought Apple devices just as convenience to not have to bother setting up X properly or dealing with power configuration on Linux laptops is no longer relevant for Apple sales department.

They care about the developers that buy Apple devices to actually target Apple devices with their software, none of which uses frameworks that depend on the OS being UNIX.

Access control in vpc is strictly more powerful than in ec2 classic, but it also forces you to deal with a lot of stuff you didn't have to in ec2 classic (availability zones, subnets, routing, gateways).

If vpc is "ec2 v2", I would like to see a v3 that allows you to start off with a naive/simple setup and gracefully transition to the complicated setup of vpc when/if you need to.
Yes, I would use a restricted role for Lambda too. Anything that gets creds in user space gets restricted permissions: EC2, Lambda, ECS, etc.
No, his number is right.

It's not about what exactly the percentage flat-Earther would be (be it 1% or 0.1%), it's about which question has more "no" percentage.

And it should be Q2 because

Normal people will answer "No" to both questions.

Flat-Earther will answer "Yes" to the first question. Most of them would, however, answer "No" for the second, because they're well aware they are the minority on this topic (think "wake up sheeple!").
Yup. This is happening because rich people broke capitalism when they gamed the system and destroyed oversight by buying governments. When less than 1% of the planet controls 80% of the financial resources there's not much left to move. We're essentially in a neo-fuedal state in the US. Essentially you can point the blame at Reagan for destroying collective bargaining and SCOTUS for continually rolling in favor of corporations since Robert Bork. The natural correction based on history is the blood of the wealthy and then spreading their resources. Some of the wealthy have realized this and started trying to sound the alarm but it's falling in deaf ears. It's things like Jeff Bezos thinking space is the only way to spend his considerable wealth instead of someone like Bill Gates trying to make massive societal changes and improvements. Leave it to a guy with the money to literally wipe out world hunger to think space ships are the only way he could spend his money.
That article is misleading. Cats and dogs have far fewer sweat glands, and they're mostly concentrated at the bottom of their paws, so it's not their primary method of thermal regulation, but they will sweat when they get hot to aid in cooling down.

There are mortgages in Europe which are indexed to Euribors, which have been negative for a while, and you have been able to end up having a mortgage where index + margin is below zero. Obviously banks argue that actually mathematics is wrong and negative numbers do not exist, so customer needs to pay more than what was originally agreed, and I am not sure if that issue has been sorted out in courts.

What comes to interbank markets, it is far from rare and far from only technicalities, it is nowadays pretty normal that the floating leg of the swap pays negative interest rate. (In Euro, that is, USD has higher rates)

> Take Musk away, who is investing in expensive, risky stuff with actual potential to change things?

Your point is mostly valid, however there are others.

Gates & Buffett will ultimately pour a collective ~$300 billion into education and health. That includes attempting to wipe out various diseases entirely and eg inventing new ways to deliver vaccines cheaply - just about as important to humanity as most anything else we could be doing. Gates is also putting billions into new high-risk energy technology over time, far more than Musk put into starting SpaceX and Tesla.

Jeff Bezos will probably put tens of billions into space over decades, ultimately far exceeding the investment scale of Musk in that arena (whether he'll have results worthy of that investment, is yet to be decided).

Paul Allen - his estate now - has and will put considerable resources into researching the brain over time. Beyond that he put hundreds of millions of dollars to work in other high- risk scentific endeavours that may yield large results over time.[1]

Eli Broad has poured immense resources into the Broad Institute (a billion dollars inflation adjusted), a partnership between Harvard and MIT that has already made a huge impact by blazing the path re CRISPR. The Broad Institute is one of the premiere scientific institutes on the planet.

Larry Page is putting resources into flying vehicles. Not a huge amount of money based on his $55b net worth; non the less an interesting technology pursuit that could make a dent in our transportation systems.

Sergey Brin - on a personal mission - is attempting to combat Parkinson's, which afflicts 10 million people around the world. If his funding makes a difference in curing Parkinson's, it'll be a big deal and it's certainly a high-risk pursuit.

Sean Parker has been funding some of the first attempts at getting into trials with CRISPR. The definition of high-risk with the potential to change everything, not to mention very expensive.

MacKenzie Bezos, in her declaration in relation to the Giving Pledge, has said she'll give until the $40 billion is gone. Who knows what good she may accomplish, probably in areas of education, health, equality. She seems to be a very smart woman, so I would suspect she'll do something meaningful. That type of investing is typically high-risk and with the potential to change things.

Gordon Moore has spent his retirement figuring out ways to give away his (formerly) $20 billion fortune.[2] Including pushing $1.4 billion into science grants and $1.5 billion into environmental conservation efforts (I consider that arena to be high-impact, even if it's not as sexy as a starship). He has put $200 million into the Thirty Meter Telescope.

The biggest risk with TARP was inflation. You throw that much money into the economy and normally inflation goes up. Some assets have gone up, but generally inflation is low.

So one of two things will likely happen:

1. Economy will go into recession, feds can’t drop interest rates much more (they are already low), so recession hits hard.

2. Inflation skyrockets and the fed starts cranking up interest rates in an effort to control it. Economy stops growing but inflation continues (hi 1970’s!). People bitch because their paycheck stays the same but he price of milk doubles.
I suffered from depression a lot while a teenager and early twenties, and I think lack of empathy from others has helped me snap out of it. Depression, at least for me, can be a form of feeling sorry for myself, and when others feel sorry for me that compounds the problem.
"OMAD" (one meal a day) here. It's been 5 months. Most days, I eat lunch. And that's it, no real calorie consumption outside of that window. Not hungry, not tired, not cranky, not suffering, more free time, actually eating better (having one meal of pure crap in front of you is a clarifying moment), and losing weight at a moderate clip. YMMV, IANAD, etc.
The time value of money is the expected risk of inflation. For example, if a lender lends someone $100, then the interest rate is a combination of the risk of not being paid back, and the return that could have been had if the same $100 were invested elsewhere (with the same risk profile of the original investment).
> Obviously this is a special case. Many people use these machines with no ill side effects, but for me, since it’s so personal, I have an admittedly irrational fear of them. For me though, I’d rather not need it in the first place if I can avoid it.

Thanks for sharing that. I have a CPAP and your account is one more point to something I have been suspecting for a while now, especially in the last few days.
> Do you think they would have taken it had they known what was in it?

No, they wouldn't. Like in your case, it contained some grade transcripts, PhD diploma (of sentimental value; no the university doesn't reissue them), and a valid passport from my previous country (which I revoked immediately... and PI in that passport had no relation to my PI in Norway.) and a backup disk with uncritical stuff.

> So why even have a safe if I don't lock it? Because it is rated to keep papers and CD/DVD discs safe for one hour in a 1700℉ (930℃) fire.

Again, fire-resistance was my motivation as well. But the door was sitting loose (i.e., it sat fast only when locked) and I was in doubt of how much fire protection it would offer if left unlocked.

If you're just setting up a prototype environment then yes, sure, set up a VPC and go with the defaults and don't worry overmuch about what you're doing. However, when you start setting up a production environment, the story changes. If you're a developer creating network-facing applications, then I am convinced that at least a basic understanding of computer networking is not optional.

I think the attitude that not everyone needs to know these things leads to people mistakenly thinking they can always have them be someone else's problem which furthermore results (needlessly!) in brittle systems.

I'm not asking for every developer to become a networking expert, but learning at least the very basics about your dependencies (you depend on networking, after all) is what I think a professional should do.

To address your NoSQL example, certainly it can be convenient to prototype with a dynamic schema, but you as a developer should still understand that even if it is dynamic, your data still has a schema and a concrete structure, which will affect your application in various ways. For rapid prototyping it's fine to ignore all this, but again once you start thinking about production, you no longer have the luxury.

Trump Antitrust: Going After Big Tech or Covering for Corruption?
As I see it, one of the major issues with banks recently is that they've all conglomerated into a few large ones, so there isn't much choice or competition anymore. (Chart: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Graph_of...) Backing those industries with public funds has already led to them making riskier investments, as they know the public will cover their losses.

A public (i.e. subsidized) bank has no incentive or need to compete or appease its customers, so I fail to see how this would make things better and not worse.
If this submission would somehow end up on front page I would also like to ask you to share what experiences do you have with GTD, how you implemented it yourself, what works best for you in regards to managing personal time and goals. I'm looking for some inspiration.
> This just reflects the natural laws of thermodynamics that tell us that everything tends to decay without a constant supply of work and energy.

"Decay" is very subjective. The laws of thermodynamics only tell us that entropy (an objective quantity) must increase over time, but it does not tell us how it increases or whether this increase is desirable or not. Life itself exists only because the combination of life + the environment creates more entropy than just a lifeless environment. Yet few would describe life as a "decay" of physical elements into self-replicating structures.

This is not to say that the phenomena you describe doesn't exist, it's just to say that the laws of physics at the scale of statistical mechanics are far removed from high-level processes at the scale of human society.
I don't think they are paid for having money. When saving money in a bank, you don't have the money. The bank has it, and you are being paid for letting them have your money.
The Russians utilized historically divisive issues on social media in order to interfere, and it is not clear congress can do anything WRT social media in order to minimize the Russians' ability to continue this activity. The social media companies can (and have) taken steps to mitigate. I have been advising my friends to stay away from platforms that have "real name" policies, and to my less educated friends/family (they are easily fooled) to stay away from social media all together.

Then all the high income property owners will trade their properties in your city for some other properties in some other city, the properties in your city will all be owned by the retirement funds of middle income people from all over the country who don't pay the high tax rates, and nothing about rents or real estate prices would meaningfully change.

Also, to the extent that the tax was actually effective, it would reduce the incentive to build new housing and thereby raise housing costs.

> If it seems controversial to use that money for some other purpose, return the money as rent subsidies equally among all resident renters.

So you charge them money in tax and give it to the renter, what happens when they respond by raising the rent by that amount?
I don't follow you.

Edit: ah, I see my mistake. There's a dropdown that lists "Advanced", which apparently accounts for the $14 difference.
You speak as if there is something that can done about it.

There is no way for the government to push rates, especially on exotic collateralized products like you describe. The Fed can play around at the low end and set an overnight rate, but not much else. Historically, the Fed has tried and failed over and over to affect the long end. And it certainly doesn't have the stock to dump long bonds to drive yields up.

Right now, the yield curve is inverted showing how little they actually effect rates. Long run rates are set in the global market.
Detecting Asymmetric Application-Layer Denial-of-Service Attacks In-Flight
Absolutely idiotic article and title. Obviously it's possible to reidentify a person if you have 15 demographic attributes if you don't specify which attributes you use. I can do even better, I can reidentify 100% of people, with only their name, DOB, fingerprints and SSN. The fact that DOB and zip code are in the dataset make this result completely trivial.

A couple years ago, I got into an argument on reddit where someone claimed that any mapping could be recovered "using deep learning techniques" (e.g. if you take 3*0 = 0, you can get back that the original value was 3 with no other information except for the value "0"), and that obviously I was just too stupid to understand deep learning if I couldn't see that.
Quantum Advantage and Y2K Bug Comparison
The meaning of treating someone well does not take a lifetime of hard work to comprehend. In the tale of Rabi Hillel, "that which is repugnant to you, do not do to others". I believe the bible says something similar. I'll bet anything the koran does too, and every religious text. I believe that humanist texts say much the same though I can't find it now. For fun, here's the first tenet from the satanic temple https://thesatanictemple.com/ "One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason"

But that's beside the point, really. I was hoping for an acknowledgement that I could be a moral entity without the influence of religion. A bit of bridge-building would have been welcome, and much needed in these times.
US applies 15% dividend taxes then France applies income tax 0 to 30% depending on your personal situation, a part of the double taxation can be had back through tax credits in the following year. It's yet another thing for capital gains.

It's quite complicated and it's up in recent years with the government going against capital gains (i.e. rent seeking). If you invest in some European stocks instead, it can be eligible to 0% taxation on all gains.

Variable rate mortgages still are a thing. And it's not like there's anything really wrong with them. You are getting a better rate (compared to the newly issued fixed rates), but also getting some rate exposure over the duration of your mortgage. This exposure could help you, or hurt you, but I would hardly call it a bad thing.

The problem is that most people don't understand these things and are stupid, and decide to buy a house and sign all the paperwork without reading it.

If you don't want clojure, common lisp is the closest contender it has excellent tooling, performant compilers (sbcl) and mature package management however be prepared for rude shock when it comes to ecosystem support. Other languages make up for the lack of lisp's power by having excellent support of production grade libraries. You might struggle in doing soemthing basic like talking to the chrome browser via cdp, you will have to roll your sleeves and write your own, this looks fine initially but becomes tedious when you end up creating too many libraries of your own for which solutions are readily available in other languages.
This is the reason why clojure is much better choice as you still get access to all the java libraries. I wish there was similar solution for golang so that you enjoy the power of lisp without sacrificing the ecosystem support.
