I wonder if a law that you can't pay ransom money for files should be passed.

This should work to take any government and larger companies off the target of these groups as they are likely to obey these laws. Kinda like the we dont negotiate with terrorists approach.

DisplayFusion is a great utility. I actually paid full price and I only use it for one purpose - window management. I have a few shortcuts I set up that allow me to manipulate the active window in multiple ways. I've set this up 2 years ago and I've been using it at home and at work for all this time. I can't say enough good things about the app.
Poor people have existed in every time and era, yet we don't hear of low marriage rates in the 1800s, for example. It can't be just about the money.

I personally think it's good that marriage isn't the only choice for women, or men for that matter. People like their independence and without the social pressure to marry just for the sake it, it ultimately results in happier people that don't have to do things just because of some vague, background expectation of society - which is ultimately composed of more people that don't care about you than do.

Unless you are poor, but if you are poor you are likely unhappy whether you are married or not.

Could universal basic income save marriage?
This echoes what's been going on in Japan since the 90's.

What we hear about men in China needing to own an apartment in order to be a well qualified potential partner seems to be an amped up version of this.

"These synthetic husbands were also 30% more likely to be employed than real single men and 19% more likely to have a college degree"

Thanks. This would be a nice thing to explain in the document that's open sourced.
> Poor people have existed in every time and era, yet we don't hear of low marriage rates in the 1800s, for example. It can't be just about the money.

It is now socially acceptable, and financially feasible, for women to avoid marrying. That was certainly not the case in the 1800s. It was barely the case in the 1950s.
The last time I saw support for it still there, the IM stuff would open in a separate, old-looking window from the Messages window. Basically, they kept the old code and just built a new version parallel to it, then eventually took out the old one.

I've noticed a number of sites now are doing something that interferes with the password manager (Lastpass in this case). Common problems are either that autofill doesn't work (even explicitly clicking autofill does nothing), or they put a button in the username/password field that's exactly where Lastpass puts its button, so it's impossible to click.

I don't get it -- don't the sites want users to use more secure passwords? That should mean encourage password managers, unless they imagine I'm gonna remember a 32 character random unique password for every website?
He proved both. He and Penrose proved theorems that showed that, under certain assumptions, the area of a black hole's event horizon can never decrease. But he later showed that quantum fields near the horizon can violate some of the assumptions that are required for the area theorem, so when those quantum effects are taken into account, black holes can radiate and this can cause the area of their event horizons to decrease.
I've often joked that getting married is like saying "I love you so much, let's get the government involved".

I feel like so much of the draw for many people to get married is the pageantry and narcissism involved.

As a divorced man who is at the age where all his friends seem to be getting married I can't help but make mental wagers on how many of those marriages will actually last.
> The last thing you should want as a developer is to use a half baked API that Apple hasn’t dig fooded first.

That is a massive and sweeping generalization. If developers are being put at a competitive disadvantage by not having access to a feature, I'm pretty sure some of them would love to use an unstable API to stay competitive.
The city was extremely lucky the attackers played their hand too early. If servers had been encrypted it could have a lot worse.
This breaks the site guideline against shallow dismissals. Please don't do that here.
You're missing the point - there is a company that has employees that can [ostensibly] do the job you need. It's a free market so you could directly employ those people, and in that case you get the same level of expertise and you aren't paying for the outsourcing company's overhead.

Obviously employing those exact people may not be possible, but theoretically a large enough city can draw others of similar skill.
From the Wiley press release [1], not the blogspam:

> “Most American women hope to marry but current shortages of marriageable men—men with a stable job and a good income—make this increasingly difficult, especially in the current gig economy of unstable low-paying service jobs,” said lead author Daniel T. Lichter, PhD, of Cornell University. “Marriage is still based on love, but it also is fundamentally an economic transaction. Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women’s educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors.”

I don't know, that seems like such an incredibly 1950s take to me. Is that really the way most people view marriage? Sure, people who are seeing success in one area of their lives (educational, professional) are more likely to see success in other areas, but I don't think most people (or most women) view marriage as a "fundamentally economic transaction". That reads kind of like incel flame-bait to be honest.

I can beat that, actually. The administrator passwords on the catalog system at my local university library in the 90s were required to be exactly 5 uppercase letters, and were hashed with crypt() and stored in an unshadowed file.
But mass decreases which implies that event horizon shrinks, right?

Also, I thought never-increasing entropy was only applicable to closed systems. In that sense, when particles leave black hole through Hawking radiation, total entropy of the Universe remains the same. Am I missing something?
Dying isn't required for evolution.

It's just that after you reproduce and get your offspring on their own feet, continuing to live is optional (for evolution), so no optimizations evolved to continue life far beyond that.

Evolution isn't trying to kill you, it just doesn't care about helping you beyond reproductive age.

Regarding Facebook bubble, an anecdote:

29 here, I have Facebook and use it almost exclusively for responding to events organised by my girlfriend’s friends. She and her friends use it constantly for group activities.

If I don’t respond to an event I’m not going to they’ll text her to text me because if I don’t respond on FB I might as well be dead??

Within my circle of friends we organise ourselves via text message and I don’t think any of them use Facebook on the regular. As far as I know nobody has deleted their account due to some sort of privacy sentiment. They just don’t use it.
At least in the UK they are not directly working for Amazon, but an agency, who only handles Amazon deliveries. Many other industries work in a similar way, where the employee/contractor effectively works for one company, but is paid by another company, for example retail and commercial cleaning and maintenance staff.

You can't say they need to get rid of all "contractors", because temp staff are obviously beneficial around the holidays for these companies. What could work is to have a limit on how long the employee can be on a temporary contract, but such rulings would have ramifications on other industries (Julie is taking 1 1/2 years off for maternity leave and you need someone to replace her for that time). Plus I'm sure whatever new legislation is introduced, Amazon will find a way to work around (You get the benefits of a permenant employee after working for 6 weeks? Ok, after 5 weeks we don't need you anymore).

There are future dangers of loneliness and social isolation from single and elderly.

Even without the general social stigma of being unmarried, structurally it's difficult to maintain ties with friends as their own family obligations increase and their social time increasingly revolves around inter-family activities.

Furthermore we have an ongoing decay in social institutions that bring such people in regular contact with fellow citizens, married or unmarried. Church is probably one of the last such commonly found institutions?
Most of that sounds more like application performance monitoring than pipeline testing.

> view marriage as a "fundamentally economic transaction".

You dropped the critical word 'also'. Marriage is 'also a fundamentally economic transaction'. At some level, you should understand what your future looks like with this person, how much will you make, will that make both of you happy, how will you handle a divorce, etc. What happens if one of you gets sick and the other has to care for you?
> I think they only mean that laws of thermodynamics are universal and should be applicable to black holes as well.

That's correct; that's all they mean.
I'm South Asian as well and I find your attitude a little arrogant. As pointed out in the book "The other one percent" (Sanjoy Chakravorty) Indian immigrants of my generation have benefited from a couple of events we didn't have to fight hard for, namely the end of colonialism in South Asia and the civil rights wins in USA, as well as a stable and privileged background that many Indians lack access to. To varying extents the same is true for other Asian immigrants as well. Many non-Asian people "work hard" and take care of family, we are not unique in these respects and these self-aggrandizing stories are not the complete explanation for our demographic's income or our model minority myth.

This title is very misleading since the issue is how Windows handles time, which has nothing to do with Ryzen other than the fact that Microsoft hasn't fixed its internal time source for AMD hardware. The article says it worked fine with Windows 7, so it's just a lack of a bugfix for Windows' new tickless kernel. The title mentions nothing about Windows, yet that's where the bug seems to lie.
Yup, most operating systems have the ability to grant root access, what is your point?
I'm guessing they never even get close to seeing marriage this way as the relationship probably doesn't reach into courtship past dating. Just a hunch.
Use the word proof carefully. We've never observed Hawking radiation, we just think it's likely to exist.
Everybody's a critic about study design, geez.

Studies cost a ton of money. If you can get an interesting signal in a small study, that can be a good reason to invest more money. If you get s strong signal for a surprising result, it's worth talking about and can get into serious journals.
I think the data usage reset is a side effect of certain carriers not supporting the proper features. My T-Mobile US plan seems to reset itself every month.
> mass decreases which implies that event horizon shrinks, right?

Yes. So the entropy of the hole by itself decreases. But the entropy of the whole system, including the hole and the Hawking radiation it emits, increases.

> when particles leave black hole through Hawking radiation, total entropy of the Universe remains the same

We have no way of evaluating the total entropy of the universe. The concept itself might not make any sense, since we have no way of making measurements or running experiments on the universe from the outside.
Ask them to keep a written log of the stories they work on, and during “mentoring time” use it for things to talk about. (Why did you do this? What did you think would happen? Etc)

> Lead dev seems happy to not be involved in the process as they have worked together for quite a while without any substantial progress on the juniors side.

With the lead dev define what “progress” would look like as specific, measurable goals and then work towards those goals with the jr.

In the classroom a common technique is I Do (E.g. the jr watches you break down a story), We Do (break it down together), You Do (it’s all them, but you give support and feedback).

It's the erase blocks that cause the real problems. If a page is 8KB or 16KB then raw writes would hit the IOPS cap before the bandwidth cap, but that wouldn't be a major source of issues. With erase blocks at a megabyte or larger, they introduce enormously complex remapping and garbage collection requirements. You can't do a whole lot about those problems with a block device API.
Good dev's understand how to simplify complex problems by breaking it into smaller components. Bad devd add complexity to already complex problems.
Why are we talking about large cities? New Bedford is under 100k people, and the parent post said "rag tag city governments" not large cities.
It's a tricky subject. I lean for taking the money. I used to work in the media lab and honestly, it seems like a decent place. Pretty much everyone there is giving up a much larger salary at a FANG company to work on interesting things.

Did the Media Lab help Mr. Epstein rape more children in any way by taking the money? Probably not. Evil people can do good things. The world is complicated.

If people really want to start tracking the provenance of funding, perhaps we should start with investigating larger sums. No one in Silicon Valley seems to have any trouble taking money from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
And over time Dropbox ended up creating unique features and a value that stands on its own.

In this case, the Apple ecosystem limited Apple’s thinking and both Box and Dropbox were able to move to create unique value. And frankly, good for them.
True. But then you need to first teach the student about pointers/references, linked lists, and then binary trees. The point of this article was to explain recursion to an absolute beginner.
Oh I understand that. I was just trying to communicate that: their latest promise was to start shipping final hardware to people Q3 2019 and Bach Aspen is exactly that.

I actually give them kudos for allowing people to choose what batch they receive. I specifically did not pre-order because I don't want an early batch of hardware of any product. Had I know I would get a choice I would have pre-ordered.

As I said I’m not sure if IIRC but isn’t that the case that there was a functioning version of f.lux that got submitted to the App Store and rejected? It’s been a few years and I wasn’t able to find news articles from that time but I thought it was a case of “the app works but they won’t let us publish it” rather then “Apple bad because they won’t give us an API that we can use”.

This was after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea for child prostitution (not to mention several civil suits for child prostitution settled out of court). Rumors of Epstein’s large-scale child sex ring were widespread.

Many researchers don’t want their paycheck to come from a child prostitution kingpin who made a career blackmailing rich pedophiles who had raped his child sex slaves.

I feel like an increasing rate/normalization of hookups and arrangements (sugar) makes it perfectly possible for men to get the transactional/on demand aspects they generally seek and ladies get the economic aspect they often seek.

I (still happily) married right before Tinder came around. I really think if I had access before being in LTR with my wife I’d go this route and not have married. Hookups and companionship when I want. None of the stress, pressure, expectations, and drama of being a husband.
Metformin is great. A doc even recommended it to my friend while he was fighting a glioblastoma(brain cancer).

I'd love to take it but I tried berberine, which is supposedly similar in effect, and got major low blood sugar.

The only issues with Metformin are occasional digestive issues(diarrhea) and the slight chance of lactic acidosis.
Nature is wonderful it always gives us signs of distress. But we as species who have transformed earth due to our behaviour are too late to take action on these signs.

Majority will trade distant future for today's comfort. We only have hopes on minority warriors and scientists who see this sign and force us to take action before it's too late.

Hopefully we do a better scientific study and take action as quickly as possible to first understand the signs and mitigate the effects to make our earth more balanced.

We as a society should have a stronger scientific temperament which will help us to take action. We should give up selfish behaviour and skeptics like the popular leaders in some countries denying climate changes by human for the sake of power, politics and votes.

We should denounce it, before we become extinct due to irreversible damage.
well, when they convert the bulk of their stuff to go, if the plan works, and the theory is correct, then they can hire something more like a laborer instead of an engineer.

The main thing is that they are so huge, they can afford such experiments. I don't put much faith in that approach outside of a huge organization, and the jury is still out internally.

And given their shift to no brainteasers and no degree, and diversity and other non skill based focus, and sheer number of employees, the bar may not be set where you think it is these days. Hell it might not be much harder than stating your political beliefs (assuming you have the right political beliefs) based on recent cultural evidence.
Take the best and brightest in a country of a billion, move them to another country. Wonder at why they are still doing pretty well compared to the local population which is average. Also wonder why their children are doing well despite the fact that they inherited their parents DNA. True their home countries local population might not equal their adopted country's local population in their aptitude. Immigrants make the adopted upper classes even richer, obviously they get a small piece of that. Their children inherit their genes, and they get the benefit of being born to relatively well to do parents. Obviously they often do well as well, if their parents don't burn them out.

You want Asian CEOs, then Asian investors should invest in American companies and make Asians CEOs of those companies. Its that simple. At the end the corporate structure is defined by investor money. That money belongs to people of certain races who trust their race to run their company... and if not their race then white people -- and this goes for Arabs and Asians. The rather have their companies run by whites (which often includes the other whites that must not be named) that know other whites that can make things happen.
Yep. I'm actually surprised it isn't already illegal, given that the money is likely being used to fund organized crime, rogue states, etc.
The "pay gap" is about people who have jobs. With some more or less defensible assumptions about what jobs are comparable.

But this study is about employment, income and academic characteristics of available vs desired men. And it too makes some assumptions. One, that women looking for husbands won't consider other women. And that they exclude men of other races. Both are obviously false, but arguably not false enough to render the study meaningless.
Even if the transaction is online, you don't see the money in your bank account straight away. It takes a few days for card payments to settle, and usually the payment processor will have a predefined schedule as to when you get paid.
