The "security sensitive" information in the URL bar is horrible.

For TLS you need to look for the presence of a single character. For most people, "http://" and "https://" are both gibberish and remembering which one is good is not obvious. For domain names you now need to look past all of the subdomains since mybank.evil.com isn't safe. But don't look all the way to the right since that is usually full of gibberish and everything after the "/" isn't trustworthy either. Oh and watch out for homoglyphs too.

URLs suck for security.

Also I bet you are upset that port numbers aren't included in the displayed URL too.
What about the download stats ?

How on earth is the FBI a threat to national security? If you think the special council was something that the FBI created you are sorely misinformed. Educate me.

You're right, I missed that your sin(x) example was talking only about a single component.

However, cherry-picking a different reordering for each frequency component before doing an inverse FFT really isn't the same thing as playing all the sounds simultaneously.

Anyway, the thing is, we're not talking about an infinite series. This is a thread about digital audio playback, where both amplitude and phase components (I'm going to assume this site uses some sort of DCT-based codec) are quantized, and hence occupy a finite space. No amount of reordering will change that sum.
iTerm is more than just a "decent" terminal emulator; it's the most featureful. In fact, no other terminal emulator can replace iTerm without losing a ton of features, even on Linux.
This all shows what idiots government parliamentarians are in Australia. If the issue is encryption, then there are very simple ways of using unbreakable encryption systems without relying on asymmetric keys (ie one time pad or Vernam cypher). Granted it will not suit all use cases, since a means of identifying what is the key to use needs be agreed outside of the network processes. That is face to face or via messengers, for instance. But since any file can be used as key (ie music, text, video, object program, etc.) and having a key larger that the text encrypted eliminates repetition patterns, this is a totally unbreakable system. Even quantum computing would totally fail in decrypting a message!
It is super simple to implement with a modicum of programming knowledge, it does not require any maths skills!
An example of it can be found here: https://gitlab.com/MidGe48/cryptopad
I can expand on the means of communicating and sharing keys which are simple and untraceable without requiring ongoing communication after an initial, simple, exchange.
Ok, but to quote my GP:

I might get labeled as a "conspiracy theorist" (homework: look up the origin of the term) for this, but I've been following Q for over a year now. There have been a lot of things that have been hard to explain, and other things that are flat out disgusting, to say the least. This new development with Jeffrey Epstein has caused many friends to start asking me questions about who Q really is, seeing as I've mentioned Jeffrey quite a few times over the last year. I've had some interesting conversations over beers about the QAnon movement.

Nevertheless, this "conspiracy theory" really has made the headlines lately, ay? I don't foresee this thread going well. :)

The many bad laws and policies in coastal cities (mandating single-family houses with large lots and subsidized parking) are also in place in most other cities that have been remained relatively affordable through low demand. But as coastal cities squeeze people out, those same policies are going to have similar effects.
I had a similar problem with Owl, it's because they typically use CSS filters to achieve dark mode. It's frustrating because it's a very bad solution but it's easy to not realize that the extension is causing the problem (especially because browsers work hard to hide it)
If you're morbidly curious about QAnon conspiracies, but can't stomach actually digging in yourself, these guys do a pretty entertaining job of covering whatever the current conspiracy is.

I think you're wrong about this. The incentives are much better environmentally for a cascade of third party purchases, it creates an incentive for you to look after the phone, and to buy a phone which is robust, the manufacturer is incentivized to produce something long lasting, because otherwise the depreciation is too high for the consumer to justify buying it. The phone carries enough value so that it's worth repairing, even when it's 3-4 years old.

Cheap Android phones aren't worth repairing, people are validated to beat them up, their security updates run out within 1.5-2.5 years. Most iPhones are likely still to be on the market and being used after 4 years or more. If you buy an iPhone and sell it on you're clearly displacing another phone from being bought, which almost certainly would have a shorter lifetime before being scrapped.
Yea, ideas can be troublesome and dangerous even. Who would have a need to question anything that isn't on the news or that comes from our hardworking and honest politicians?

These people must be tracked and/or censored so that they dont have even the possibility of bothering weaker mind individuals than ourselves.

Also, I was thinking of moving to communist China - the government there seems very well run and honest from all of their advertisements and news reports. Want to come with me?
Albeit much smaller area, I see this a lot around Rhode Island. They are taking farms and woodlands and turning them into dusty dirt fields with just panels, its a sad state of affairs.

I would love to see laws preventing destruction of woods, or otherwise fertile land, especially when wind power seems to be the way to go around here.
It seems like we could save a lot of pointless expenditure on an ultimately meaningless arms race in flash trading if we imposed reasonable limits on the time required to hold an equity in order for a trade to be legally recognized.
Siri responded with a web search that resulted in some articles about how to accomplish what you ask about. I think it included this thread. I didn't bother to visit the resulting pages.
The 1/3 bound is for general byzantine behavior. If you're willing to get more specific about the type of behavior you want to tolerate, the bounds are more flexible[1] (this link is from the HotStuff people, actually!). For example, a node could tolerate no more than "20% Byzantine faults and 30% alive-but-corrupt faults" In turn, this allows different clients to make different assumptions (one huge advantage PoW has over traditional BFT protocols).

Also, w.r.t. linear communication, CBC Casper[2] has the ability to come to consensus on a blockchain with, in the limit (and in the optimal case), a single message per block that is finalized. It uses essentially the same form of pipelining that HotStuff does, but to the extreme (at at the cost of a much longer time for blocks to be finalized). Full disclosure: I work on CBC Casper, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.

Here's a recent article that shows relative marketshares:

Looks like Doordash doubled its US marketshare in the last year mostly at Grubhub's expense while others have remained more or less flat.
This is a great idea, and I say it because I have the same exact same idea in my list of ideas I would like to work on but it's no where near the top of the list. I'm grateful that someone has solved for this!
The entire point of the tipping system is to have a high variance. The promise, but not guarantee, of tips is what is supposed to incentivize better service.

The entire nature of conspiracy theories is that they seize on human cognitive biases; it's expected and normal that they concern recognizable patterns that are "hard to explain, to say the least".
The web store ecosystem is atrocious. You cannot rely on Google's browser services to make money. They will randomly take down your extension for a ~month in response to malformed (i.e. invalid and illegal) DMCA notices, and they barely maintain the developer tools - I've watched key parts of the developer dashboard break and go unfixed for months even after reporting them.

If you want to do this stuff you have to do it all from scratch and hope Google doesn't decide to get mad at you.

They also make it very hard to push updates promptly which means if a major bug or security issue is found it can take multiple days for users to get a fix, so you end up having to find your own way to push updates (despite the fact that store policy sort of prohibits doing so).
Personally: having learned of their scummy practices, I will not be supporting DoorDash or Instacart ever again, regardless of whether they change policy now in response to being exposed.

Why so unforgiving? Because you can't deter unethical behavior by merely asking for a perpetrator to discontinue the unethical behavior if/when exposed. The expected value of a penalty needs to exceed the financial reward of the behavior it is meant to punish. Furthermore, I don't trust companies who are likely to be unethical the moment someone isn't looking.
No, even if lacing was only used for network, wireless will likely never replace some sort of wired technology.
The value of an extension is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. The value of someone's ethics also has a price. It is a different price for everyone. It's silly to go into details about ethics, because maybe I donate half of the unethical income to buy mosquito nets and now I've traded saving lives with inconveniencing users or some other such very personal calculation/rationalization.

You can browbeat developers with your ethics and ideals, but your approval doesn't feed anyone's children.

I'm looking for Junior level Python/Flask roles. I'm currently in a career transition after 10 years of doing SEO. This year, I left my Director of SEO job to dedicate my time to learning and programming with Python. I started with the Udacity Full Stack Nanodegree program, but after some time spent with the program, I decided I would progress quicker by just building. Please view my github to see the progress I've made on my ferry schedules website. While I have plenty to learn, don't we all?, I believe I'm capable and competent enough to contribute to a company at the Junior level and I'm hungry for experience. If you are looking for Junior Python/Flask developers, please reach out.
I'm curious, what do you think those 'things we have to fix' first are? Why they are a higher priority?
I've enjoyed having Ctrl where Caps should be so much, and my right hand missed having a Ctrl key on these small Mac keyboards, so I turned the Enter key into Ctrl as well! (Possible as a Complex Modification in Karabiner: "post left_ctrl when enter_or_return is held", so that tapping Enter is still treated like the Enter key)
PrEP is very likely cost-saving, i.e. it costs less than the life-long treatment of new HIV infections it will have prevented.

Unless you're willing to argue that treatment for HIV infections should not be covered, your argument against PrEP is pretty weak here.
I'm reading "smaller, low cost" as microdata (bigger than cube). If you're in LEO you're only up for a few years and totally your use COTs (commercial off the shelf) hardware. How do you deal with radiation? You don't. Hardware fails or your flash it. This is the cheap way to do things. The reason being that these satellites are small and thus launch costs are also small. Here your launch cost is like $100k (which is cheap in the industry). In the small stuff, failure is an option.

When you're launching something bigger you're going into a high orbit (longer lifespan) and you have to deal with more lifetime radiation. Costs are not linear either. So at a larger scale you rad harden because your launch cost is a significant cost to you. We're talking satellites that have tens to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of hardware on them. Not only that, but the satellite took years of work. Here failure is not an option.

But for actual hardening, typically you use sapphire chips instead of silicon. There are other things you can do like encasing in different materials. Multi layered and doped plastics are common now (I actually did some work 3d printing shields, intending to be low cost).
You are incorrectly assuming sound is additive, but it isn't.

Sound is non-linear as sound gets louder - sound wave volume is physically limited because the low of the sound wave can't be lower than vacuum.

Another non-linearity is air cannot transmit frequencies higher than some limit.

Another is that sound has a noise floor depending on the temperature of the gas (noise like rain on a roof?).

There are surely other gross non-linearities.

Those non-linearities mean you can't add or subtract some sounds, and you can't assume commutativity.

“I figured it would be a good place to see intelligent arguments through. It didn’t really turn out how I expected.”

When the urge gets irresistible, I post my "intelligent arguments" about politics to reddit, anonymously. Strangely, no one ever seems to change their mind! Odd, that. I'm under no illusion that this is healthy or productive, even less so that it will win me friends and accolades. It's hard to imagine the mindset of someone who thinks it would be a good idea to do this at work.
I wonder if you could utilize a carbon tax to capture some of the complexity here, because it's not simple:

* Removing woodland is not great.

* On the other hand, more solar power over, say, coal, is a win for the environment. How much woodland will climate change destroy?
Thanks for the feedback! I did not expect that confusion. I just made an update (and will push shortly) to be more explicit that it scales for collaborative knowledge bases. But I'm not talking about something like real time transactional DBs, etc.

I have not used TreeBase for anything other than collaborative knowledge bases. Haven't even thought much beyond that. Thanks for letting me know that wasn't clear.

You have any recent data on this? I am not convinced this is true anymore.
I hear you and I love Cal Newport's work (as well as PG's Maker-vs.-Manager essay). For us, the Focus mode was critical to allow people to disconnect. In addition, we find that organic, short conversations on Tandem are much better than endless back-to-back meetings.

Nah, it was probably the 'meetup god' that caused it.

We're using Elixir on the backend, which is great for real time communication. It's also a very stable backend platform in general. I agree, doing shared message passing on Node is quite challenging.

Lumping all theories about current events into a single basket is silly. Remember that cigarettes causing cancer used to be a "conspiracy theory" and we had a more free press back then than we do now.

But you are right it is normal for people to think for themselves even if they are missing some / all their screws.
That is not true most houses built in the US have central AC not window mounted. They might be popular on the West Coast but the majority of house do not have those.
Nope, we ship with our own voice/video/screenshare, no external dependencies.

Also a boring headline: "US oil use peaked fourteen years ago, in 2005." And yet, it's also true.

If you look at educational attainment, health, poverty rates, and other factors it doesn’t seem to biased towards rural communities. They fall behind in all those measures.
Sure some people complain that I mention TreeBase and Tree Notation, but others have started using it, are contributing to the project, and some have even written thanks. You can't please all the people all the time.

Can you point to a single place where I posted about TreeBase or TreeNotation that wasn't relevant to the context? I don't think you'll find a single example.
There’s also a typical third way to compensate browser extension developers:

Q says that hillary clinton has secretly been arrested and is under house arrest. That the military chose trump to be president because that's the one part of the government that wasn't part of the evil plotting and that trump pretended to collude with russia so he could work with Mueller to take down the deep state.

You really have to ignore the vast majority of the conspiracy theory and focus on the vaguer statements and things he says about stuff already in the news to take it remotely seriously.
Your answer makes me assume you are well-fed, educated, and housed (you are of course well connected, since you commented on here).

From an individualist perspective, anyone without those things, but who is connected at least a little will probably want them, I would wager. Is your argument based on a belief that there are not enough natural resources to accommodate every human in theory? What do you think needs to be fixed before a higher standard of life for all humans should be considered a goal to progressively strive for?
please digress.
It's satisfyingly close for all intents and purposes.

The change of there being a collapse of most of the significant ecosystems isn't trivial. The change of mass migrations and conflicts over resources unlike anything we've ever seen before are no longer trivial.

Out of all the hills to die on in the "debate" over climate change, this is about the most ridiculous, pedantic, and useless. How many millions of dead people would you like before considering it adequate language?
The point where it becomes a problem is essentially where thinking for themselves (good) transforms into being led astray by other 'free thinkers' who have realized they can exploit people's fear and skepticism. Q has been in many cases a money-making exercise for opportunists and not an actual exercise in truth-seeking.

When I started grad school, one of the things my thesis adviser suggested I do was to spend a few hours looking at the Palomar Sky Survey plates (this was in 1980). I spent many pleasant hours doing that, and what was striking was how few perfectly symmetric spiral galaxies there are, in relative terms. You see beautiful symmetric galaxies pictured in your Astronomy text books, but in truth most spirals are warped, or show distortion from a nearby companion, or obviously are merging with another galaxy, etc. Most spiral galaxies are deformed.

PoW - you have to make actual effort (within the realm of deprecating mining hardware) to become a part of the network. Bad for whales.

Whales should be kept at the currency value layer, not in the network layer, because whales are greedy and dangerous.
I have a question for those with a better understanding of such things. Is it difficult to calculate time or memory complexity of a function through static analysis?

It seems kind of basic, but I still find myself manually checking code instead of relying on a tool.
