>> The fact that the government of North Dakota is still combing the scene for DNA leads to prosecute additional protestors 3 years later

I doubt this DNA was combed from the scene three years later. This was a cigarette that was taken three years ago and has been in an evidence locker for years. Finally, today, an arrest is being made. We don't know whether it took three years to do the testing or whether they knew of the match years ago and only now decided to arrest. Three years is a common statute of limitations limit. They could have been working on this from day one and now, with a SOL looming, they have decided to move forwards.

Or maybe the DNA is the announced link and they had an identification by other means. Maybe by relying upon the cigarette they aren't announcing that they have been talking to witnesses/informers. The cigarette is enough to get the warrant, without the need to divulge the existence of informers just yet.
Neoteny was a concept within the smart drugs, pronoia, raver-woo mysticism in the early-mid US rave culture.
You're both right, here's his blog entry on leadership in World of Warcraft:

I'd guess by this point, he'd already made some money as a tech founder and CEO in Japan. He was apparently an early investor in Twitter, which was founded eight days after he wrote this blog post.
I'm curious how much Java needs the tooling in an all else equal situation (totally possible 'cuz Java is _old_) vs how much Java has all this cool tooling that enables/encourages people to do things that aren't possible in Go but which require the tooling.

I've mostly used the Java, C++ and Go in my career, and it's pretty amazing to me that I can write write safe, readable code (like Go) on top of high-performance libraries (like C++) and step through code on a prod machine with a remote debugger, get live performance metrics with a single CLI command, etc.
How is it less powerful, for those of us who know little about either?
I believe normalization, in this anecdote, would be whether or not Epsteins' behavior encouraged other people to engage in similar or like behaviors.

In other words : normalization occurs when something is spoken of casually and without second thought -- nearly every illegal facet of Epsteins' behavior was done behind closed doors, a testament to everyone's knowledge that what he was doing was indeed against the law and abnormal.
Perhaps something like the discussion that takes place on Letterboxd or Rateyourmusic?

Obviously, either way, it doesn't discount any of the current Epstein stories.
One of the main objections to nuclear is that “we can’t properly regulate it.” But the whole argument of Bernie/AOC/progressives centers around massive centralization and mobilization. It just seems to me that the super idealistic, unprecedentedly large plans they’re proposing would imply we could do the same thing with nuclear.
> See https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation..... Main finding is that newly built nuclear power is about twice as expensive as wind and 40% more expensive than solar power. Other studies come to similar conclusions. With the cost of solar and wind expected to decrease due to mass production and technology advancements, their advantage grows even larger.

I highly doubt they take the unreliability into account in their study. One MW of nuclear is worth much much more than a MW of solar or even worse wind since you can count on it.

I'd mention that there's not a single country in the world which currently succeeds as using solar & wind as their primary electricity generation.
That's FilmAffinity, for movies. It's pretty popular in the Spanish speaking world.

You vote movies, it calculates what it calls your "soulmates" (people who voted similarly) and then you get recommendations Of movies based on what those people loved, which you can filter by genre, era, etc. You can recalculate your soulmates anytime, and there are some options to tweak the algorithm.

You can also organise movies into lists (kinda like music playlists) and those are public, so if my preferences match user X and they happen to have a list titled "movies I enjoyed this past year" I can just check that.
not quite the best example. it's often the driver that knows their car that wins, not the car or the driver in a random car. the better driver could lose in a car they aren't used to even if it is a "much better" car.

When I was messing with CF, AWS, and the kitchen sink to make sure I could track/retrieve the state of every single resource we used, I came across the JSON equivalent of Cthulhu.

> Why insist on new nuclear power when so much evidence shows it is not needed?

Which evidence? IPCC reports nuclear as being highly needed.
That has no relation to the use of CNAMEs—this problem exists even if CNAME records aren’t used.

If “z” is a public suffix, x.y.z can set and read cookies from x.y.z and y.z, but not z. Whether this is possible has nothing to do with whether x.y.z is a CNAME.
They were likely hired by the government to do just this. Nothing is more American than the rich tradition of profiting off the destruction of irreplaceable culture, natural resources, and public spaces.

The article mentions the Leaf driver had the screen set to constantly monitor battery temperature. I don't know Japanese, but I had Japanese auto-generated captions auto translated to English, and while it was mostly nonsense, the driver did seem to mention temperature throughout the race. There also appeared to be other videos of the driver racing a leaf interspersed with the main race. So the driver's knowledge is probably largely around exactly how hard he can push the car without the battery overheating.

This is also a problem for having the drivers switch cars. If they don't have the knowledge of the car they're driving, they cannot fully take advantage of it.

Home WiFi hacked, wireshark can prove it
I think my network is being hacked. Worse, they are heckling me. I can hear them sometimes. I don't know how but I can. They must have something on my network that lets them see my keystrokes. Changing my wifi password doesn't help so I have given up trying to defend it. I have lots of Wireshark saved files to prove they are don't something on my network. Good thing I'm not doing anything wrong. Could it be law enforcement with a tap of some kind? What should I do?
> Solar and wind are the future

There's not a single country in the world which manages to run on solar and wind only or which could in a realistic future.
> Who are we serving by assuming innocence?

Innocent of what? Nobody is accusing Epstein of trying to do anything suspect via the MIT media lab. Anyone who thought he'd be wandering around MIT dragging trafficked women around with him is probably hypersensitive. Or Epstein was outrageously foolish. Either way; the reasonable assumption is that those women were probably not trafficked.

The argument here is "nobody should associate with Epstine" vs. "We can isolate the good and the bad parts of Epstine's actions and keep them somewhat separate". There is no need for someone to resign because they happened to know Epstien in a professional capacity.

Not sure what you are insinuating? Neoteny existed long before Joi had any involvement with MIT or Epstein.
The only implications of which I’m aware are in relation to web servers that serve the same content regardless of the Host header. It is then possible for someone to log into and interact normally with the website, but the cookies will be associated with the domain controlled by the attacker. The attacker can then change where the domain points later and retrieve the cookies.

This sort of attack is rather obscure, though. It’s a lot more effective to create a phishing site with just a log in form—or, if you want to get fancy, even proxy everything directly from the real website. You can then steal passwords immediately, rather than stealing session cookies after-the-fact. This works even against servers that pay attention to the Host header.

Edit: After re-reading the relevant portion of the article, I believe the author is referring to something similar to this invalid scenario:

1. Alice operates a web store at alice.example.

2. To make purchases, alice.example makes HTTP requests to api.alice.example from within the browser.

3. api.alice.example doesn’t pay attention to Host headers.

4. Mallory operates a malicious website at mallory.example.

5. Mallory cannot make requests to api.alice.example from mallory.example—that would break the same-origin policy. She works around this by configuring api.mallory.example as a CNAME to api.alice.example.

6. Bob has an account at alice.example, and is currently logged in.

7. Mallory tricks Bob into visiting mallory.example.

8. The content loaded by mallory.example makes a request to api.mallory.example indicating that Bob is making a purchase.

This doesn’t work—Bob is safe, and Mallory doesn’t score any loot. When the browser makes the request to api.mallory.example, it will pass cookies from api.mallory.example and mallory.example, not api.alice.example and alice.example. The browser pretends it has no idea that api.mallory.example and api.alice.example point to the same server.

In order for this to work, Bob would need to log in again, but this time at mallory.example—and this brings us back to my original point; it’s easier and more effective to set up a standard phishing page without any CNAME shenanigans.

While I agree with most of the author’s points, this one baffles me. I don’t see any realistic security implication of what the author has described in this scenario. There are theoretical implications, but in every case it seems there are far easier and more effective attacks. Furthermore, it’s nearly impossible to solve the problem described here; the proposed solutions the author mentions for replacing the Public Suffix List don’t resolve the CNAME threat I’ve described.

But that will only change the mindset of the person it directly affects, and only maybe. Somehow, it needs to become part of the system, by default, whether most people care about it or not. Once it's in place, any stray from that default needs to be met with instant backlash from within the system itself to keep it in position. It's a never ending fight.

One of the other key papers in the book in which the original finding was published ("The Psychology of Abilities, Competencies, and Expertise") was the role of increasingly skillful teachers.

Apple touting how many phones they sold and how many apps there are serves to reinforce to consumers that they’re “in the club” with so many other people.

I'm waiting for a politician to pass legislation requiring us to have the telescreens from 1984.

I use ssh. depending on what I'm doing I'll sometimes develop lcoally, then push changes and run experiments on the big machine. Sometimes I want to explore but still have the big guns at the ready, I use jupyter for this and it works really well. I run jupyter on the big machine and open an SSH tunnel to it.

I don't game remotely at all so I can't help you there.
I'm sure this is secretly considered a feature by at least some people inside of Google. Safari's share of the market is already quite small and most MacOS users are able to figure out how to install Chrome (most do so already). If sites magically stop working in Safari, it helps to drive more of that already-weak marketshare to the "just works [because we broke it]" alternative of Chrome.
You're thinking about it the wrong way. They vote for people who promise not to take even more from them.
So what happens when Epstein wants special access? His entire trade was influence peddling (usually by means of inducing people to commit sex crimes), the dude is going to want access to people.

He donates 2 million dollars, threatens to pull the funding when you don't let him visit.

What happens? If you think its anything besides "welcome with full access" I don't what to tell you, because that's whats going to happen in 999/1000 cases.

He was already on the MIT donation blacklist for this very reason.

This is way beyond "the dude is evil, but his money isn't"
Sorry, but you're wrong about the deliberate practice part. The study's name even reveals it and a cursory reading of the text will clarify it: "The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance" [emphasis mine].
Is it?

There's no obligation to achieve notable things, especially not by anyone else's standards.

The standards are subjective anyway. For example, unlike the person you're responding to, I'm unimpressed if you worked for FAANG--it shows you're a hard worker or at least create that impression, but it also shows your values don't align with mine very well. In fact, if you work for Facebook I'll respect you more if you quit: what Facebook does is bad.

Aside from this MIT issue, Joi is a very impressive person who earned his money honestly against great odds. Joi was treated as an outsider in Japan and still managed to become successful. I’ve known him personally and found his story to be inspirational. Not defending any of the behavior at MIT but it would be sad if this is how he’s remembered.
This is kind of crazy to say, but after the obvious flaws were fixed, RBMKs are pretty solid, efficient machines.

About 0.8%. You could throw in coke after hydrogen smelting, and skip the decarburization step that you'd normally need with coke smelting.
I agree. Collaborative filtering should succeed when you have sufficient of data, but we don't always have sufficient data. I think books are a tough challenge: the number of books is relatively large (vs. e.g. the number of restaurants on Yelp), the number of books people read is relatively small (vs. e.g. how many things they buy). Plus, people's tastes in them are relatively particular, and they're a big time commitment, so the bar for what counts as a "good" recommendation is high.

I think in these cases you can do better by bringing in some content-based filtering. I made an experimental book recommender using only story trope tags and I thought the results were already better than what I was getting elsewhere. It's still up at https://bookslikethis.herokuapp.com/ (but it basically only has sci-fi/fantasy titles).

Ericsson has gone so far as to dedicate an entire six-page section in his 2017 book [Peak] to a discussion of [Outliers]'s popularization of the catch phrase "the ten thousand hour rule". In the section he lists three reasons why this phrase is misleading, and one way in which it is accurate.

The central theme of [Peak] is to review what things all experts have in common, irrespective of their varied fields: these being a habit of deliberate, purposeful practice and mental maps.

Buying influence is exactly what Epstein did his whole life, somebody like that doesn't donate money because hes a swell guy after all.

He donated for access to famous and future famous people, so he could implicate them in sexual crimes and compromising relationships and extract money and favors from them.

That's what the guy did, its not some kind of secret now, or then.

And you can bet your top dollar Joi Ito was compromised too, which is exactly why he broke the rules around the MIT blacklist banning Epstein's donations and kept everything secret.
I vehemently disagree with your stated opinion that a 14-year old girl who is statutorily raped by a man in his 50s is "at least half to blame" about anything.
On a near daily basis, I thank you guys for writing mypy. I have a personal project spanning 2 years or so that I used mypy on 3 months back, and it has been a pleasure to work with ever since.

Just a few days back, I had had to refactor one of the core classes used everywhere and mypy told me exactly what to fix. At that point I remember wondering what I'd have done without mypy.

Thanks a ton.
"The departure of Mr. Ito from the media lab came after he spent days trying to make amends. At Wednesday’s meeting, which was organized by professors at the program, he reiterated his apology. He described for the first time the amount of money he had received from Mr. Epstein, and said he had twice traveled to Mr. Epstein’s island home in the Caribbean to seek donations."
250k seems very high to qualify as a successful professional. Very few people will ever make that much.
I think this is a good analysis.

Makes me think that in the future these organizations are still going to accept the money but bring in a "fall guy" to accept the blame when the anonymous donor is found out.

I don't think Joi would have done this personally. He's a smart guy.
