The problem is that there isn't a single key in this case, there are many. If there was just a single key to begin with, fuzzing would not be very fruitful for any moderately+ complex program since finding that single path would already be very hard (and therefore has a high cost/benefit).

What fuzzification actually enables is to hide more keys (crashes) from a constant amount of (current) effort. Those crashes are still there and now there are more of them, waiting for someone to find them with an alternative method or simply by buying more fuzzing equipment to scale horizontally.

That is being worked on. On many fronts. Linux containers are getting better. iOS is sandboxing applications to some extend. Android too and is slowly adding finer and finer sandboxing settings. ChromeOS also does sandboxing. I don't know about Windows, but I guess something similar is happening over there.

My money is on the Browser. Because it has proven (via survival of the fittest) that it is the best platform for the modern age. It has what, 100% market share? Everybody I know can use websites.

Even if one of the desktop or mobile operating systems adds sufficient sandboxing in the future, I would not want to develop applications for it. Because it would restrict my creation to the people who use that one platform. And it would give the power to censor it or mingle with it to the platform operator.

Not just image and audio quality, but Google Hangouts on my phone (so I can carry it around the house and get tea etc during a meeting) slurps up oodles of battery and the phone (OnePlus 5T) gets really really hot too.

No such problem with eg. Netflix and Youtube, guess those video codecs have some HW acceleration while Google Hangouts doesn't?

Further: I only work some 500km from the office, so I travel there (mostly by train) roughly once a month for a few days. Good mix of remote and on-site for me.
My personal theory about all of this is that it feels like someone went "we want to do X in 2025" and that the three musk companies were launched separately to achieve those goals because the complexity of arguing them together would not have been conductive of fundraising.

This is going to seem super nit-picky but SpaceX was and is still a privately owned company. If the board was aware of the decision to purchase these bonds then the act was completely above board.

There are lots of things we tell our selves about the legalities of how companies should be run. But most of those mythologies are based on the regulation of publicly traded companies. Privately traded companies can and do play these types of financial shell games constantly.

Sadly I don't feel like there is much recourse for Tesla shareholders here. Even if you could prove some sort of far ranging conspiracy, there was an up down vote on the merger. Additionally the merger it self was a stock swap and not a cash acquisition. Calling the merger a mistake is fair but my sense when you look at the positions held by musk and others I think that is unlikely a broader fraud happened here. Musk owns 1/3rd of Tesla and because Tesla is publicly traded (unlike spaceX) this 1/3rd ownership stake represents most of Musk's financial liquidity. Based on the 2016 market Cap of Tesla (somewhere between 20 and 60 billion) it seems highly unlikely that Musk would encourage a merger just to gain the additional 800 or so million in Tesla stock he was given for his solar city stock.

We have to differentiate between platform (OS/Browser) and applicaion (native app/website)

The browser is the OS.
The website is the application.

Browser and os can both track your history.
An application / a website can not.

You might think websites can via tracking scripts connecting to third parties. But applications can connect to third parties even easier. As a user, you have even less power to prevent that.

One advantage they have is that they try and pre-assemble systems into fixed 4 kw systems that are easier to put together on site

Another advantage they have is a very simple online ordering system -- try getting a quote for solar somewhere else vs ordering on Tesla.com

Why does somebody always take this to the extreme. Whenever there's a thread where people want to see corporations be made accountable for their actions it's shunned as socialism, nationalization, communism, etc. To me this just sounds like the news has successfully brainwashed folks into associating corporate accountability/responsibility with alt govs so that it's easier to get people on their side or something, idk.
I once needed to test and debug my software on Win7. The app uses hardware video encoder, virtualization doesn't work, so I had to install Win7 on a hardware PC.

The hardware drivers are there. It just takes some time to find them, and then some time to integrate into Win7 ISO so the installer doesn't fail.

I liked Win7 very much for the first couple of days. However I've reverted to Win10. Too many things are broken on Win7 in comparison: high DPI support, usability features like Win+arrow keys, no MS Edge.
You can literally learn most of Esperanto grammar in the time it takes to learn the difference between "soy/estar" and "por/para" in Spanish.

Those are just two Spanish concepts that students spend days learning. Look at a table of contents in a Spanish textbook and count the concepts. Now review an Esperanto textbook. It was designed for fast acquisition. Things that you have to learn in any language - like numbers, verb forms, days of the week, time, spelling, etc - are designed to be as simple as possible.

Take a book like "501 Spanish verbs" and adapt it to Esperanto. The book will shrink down to one page, since all verbs are regular. That page will further shrink down because there are fewer conjugations. All conjugations that do exist are composable - each conjugation dimension can be applied separately. They are even consistent between parts of speech.

How many people, who are making a serious multi-year effrot in learning a foreign language, no how to say "flutter" in that language? It's not unlikely that Esperanto learners will know that word in the month or so (after they learn the word for "fly", and learn how to make diminutives). Through these mechanisms you only need to learn a fraction of vocabulary, since from a root word you can drive many others.
There are other languages of similar difficulty (all constructed), but they are spoken even less than Esperanto.

Also, to my knowledge there has never been a leak of Chrome sync data since the feature was first introduced in 2012.

Well, there is no absolute scale regarding "easy to learn", it always depends what is your current language background and the discrepancy it has with the new language you aim to learn.

That said, Esperanto stays way much easier to learn than any Occidental language, even for people having a Roman language as native language.

Now, surely you can come with even more easier to learn language, which dodge some of the most criticized defects of Esperanto, like Western centrism vocabulary. Maybe Toki Pona is a candidate on this point.

To my mind, what makes Esperanto more interesting than other planed language is its community and an already large body of original cultural works. Sure it's far less smaller than what you can get with English, but it's already enough to occupy more than a human life span. That is interesting, to my mind, in the measure of the low cost you have to pay to enter it.

As a person with a Roman native language, I don't doubt that learning Mandarin, Japanese or some Bantu language would give me far more exotic enlargement of my world view. However the cost is also probably several orders of magnitude greater. At this price, I think anyone can learn both Esperanto, get full access to what it can gives, and invest just a bit less in any of the other aimed languages. At worst it will make you slightly less skilled in that ones, but that is not even certain as while learning more languages you generally become better at learning more languages.

All of Tesla’s models have a healthy gross margin, meaning that their economics get healthier with every car they sell.

On a more interesting note , learning Meditation via "The Mind Illuminated" book. Plus I plan to do a Goenka retreat later in the year (probably after reading a post on here "Vispasanna for Hackers" I think it was titled).

On a side note, I know we are encouraged to keep learning as developers, but being an old schooler (been writing software since 2000) I notice that people often keep learning new stuff instead of getting really good with the tools they already know. Usually the first attempt with a new framework / language isn't really the best code as it is a learning experience. As a result we have a lot of applications written in a less than perfect way. Curious what other peoples opinions are on this.
It's way tougher.

For a moment there I thought this post was written by Bryan Cantrill.

About the camps and their goals, the open source one is to some extent present, obviously, but the ad one I don't really see because I run Pro. There is a third camp that unquestionably won, though:

The "UX/UI designer" camp. I assume all the garbage running in the background behind obscure registry toggles (because real configurability is bad for UX) that's meant to make it easier for grandmas and end up making it worse for everyone else, like your computer isn't really fully yours (neither the resources of it or the freedom to decide to not run these daemons) comes from misguided UX designers who think they know better than you how a computer should be used and that they can earmark a fifth of your CPU at any time to do whatever they want.

The UI designers also won. Everything is a soulless black or white with one contrasting color. They managed to make this "There are two places you can modify settings with two disparate styles" because somehow that's better than one older looking but consistent place.

> You never confirmed if you were raised bilingually. It matters a lot in regards to what I am talking about.

Sorry to break your imagination but I'm not :)

What I'm trying to say is:

1. What is working is not Esperanto per se.

2. Even if you know English and Esperanto, Chinese will (even if it became somewhat easier for you as you might have claimed) still be a heck to learn (e.g. good ol' "counting words"), because they're so different that the even if the "solid foundation" helps it won't help much. That's why I'm bringing up Basque - I myself have trouble learning Basque even if this is the 4th language I have tried to learn.

As for the rational part, I don't know if you know programming but I'm gonna take programming as an example: imagine someone has only learnt C. Now, could claiming "learning Go will help you form a solid foundation about Haskell!" ever be considered rational? I really don't think it should.

If something can install a root CA on my system, I feel like I've already lost.
And even with high volumes, you can always pick something retrospectively that beats the market. It's not useful to look back and say, for example, if you put money into X stock at Y time you'd beat the market. You can't go back in time so it's not useful.

What is useful is to figure out what, today, may predict outperformance tomorrow. In choosing fund managers, it's not enough to choose managers who've outperformed in the past - that's not in itself predictive of the future (same is true for home prices as we learned in 2008, individual stocks, etc.). But other characteristics might be predictive, like choosing fund managers who follow a true "value" approach to stock-picking: finding companies with a competitive advantage and buying them below their intrinsic value being one approach to value.

The plan was always to reach a more comprehensive arrangement in the near future, according to France (they stated it was a temporary measure until OECD members could come to a solution). The US has repeatedly said it was willing to work with OECD members to come up with a digital tax solution. The US position for example has never been blanket against implementing an OECD-agreed digital tax. So there is likely room to find a compromise. Kicking the can down the road until that can be accomplished, is probably the best outcome here.
That's why I want to be able to trust my OS privacy-wise.

The problem with choosing Esperanto is that you are immediately assailed with questions about why you didn't choose a conlang which is more recent and, therefore, not as inherently sexist:

> A “mother” is a “fatheress” (patrino), a “girl” is a “boyess” (knabino), a “woman” is a “maness” (virino, which also happens to be the word for a kind of hypothetical mini‐virus), and so on with brotheresses, husbandesses, unclesses, cousinesses, nephewesses, and sonesses‐in‐law – a sex‐obsessed set of kinship terms incompatible with the systems traditionally used in many other cultures. Vietnamese, for instance, has a common monosyllable em meaning “younger sibling(s)”, which is an idea that Esperantists need a whole phrase to express. There is a prefix ge‑ to indicate “both sexes”, as in gepatroj = “parents”, but it's still a matter of some debate whether you can use it in the singular, or to refer to a group of parents who might all happen to be women. Only one clearly neutral noun exists: homo = “person” (cf. French homme = “man”). Even the affix ‑ul, although glossed as “person”, is widely treated as male by default; if it wasn't, “young people” would always be junuloj instead of junuloj kaj junulinoj!

It's hard to blame Zamenhof for this: He was working in 19th Century Europe where this kind of thing was even more invisible than it is today. However, consciously choosing a language with that flaw in the 21st Century is tin-eared, especially if you do it explicitly in the name of inclusivity.
I could. Those bits are fairly simple though. Often a small payload is sent to a server containing the version of the browser (and often the OS). The server responds with a link to download the newer bits (if necessary). A couple of the threads I shared touch on this briefly. The only difference, if I recall correctly, was that some of the browsers would check for updates to the updater too.
We perceive color in three wide stripes only at first. As a result, we perceive one resulting color. By mixing red and green, for example, we get yellow. Drawing a parallel with the music, we focus on the feeling of perception (the resulting color).

"Manufacturers of luxury goods won't be mispriced in a way you can exploit, even after a stock market crash"

Why not? I would expect luxury goods manufacturers to suffer during a recession, and I would expect the stock price to follow suit.

I don't think it's a mispricing as it's reflecting to reality on the ground, nevertheless I would expect them to bounce back after the recession. So it does seem to be an opportunity you can exploit.

Your second paragraph seems to have shifted to a completely different asset class. No doubt there was fantastic prices on model aircraft kits, but you need to know the market, and it isn't apparent to me whether the model aircraft kit market will behave the same the next time. Plus it's more risky. If I buy a stock, I don't have to worry about it being fake, getting damaged, I can sell trivially at the touch of a button.
