I read that you would have to physically log into your machine in order to mount home but ssh login including via public key auth would work thereafter.

Public key ssh login at a machine you hadn't sat down and logged in would fail in the same fashion as one would expect if the home partition was absent.

This would seem to be passable in many cases right up until you have to reboot the machine for some reason and its no longer possible to login.

There is good reason to prefer a public key vs password. Pubkey auth means you aren't entering anything over the wire that can be intercepted and nobody can guess or use your password if they knew it to access your local system.

For example someone who shoulder surfed your password couldn't gain the ability to log into your machine from across town.

If they shoulder surfed your passphrase/password and then stole your physical machine they would of course have everything they needed in a typical configuration even with encryption. You could of course go further and require a keyfile AND a passphrase and hope it is harder to say steal a small usb device on your keychain and your computer than just your computer.

At this point it really looks like you are defending against a targeted attack on your data rather than simple theft.
All good. For what it’s worth I also turned down Uber about 5 years ago and am damn glad I did.
ICE the agency isn't old enough to vote or buy cigarettes. CBP is different agency and no one is calling to abolish it.

In fact, equating to two is common tactic of the "throwing children into cages is good, actually" crowd and most of the time it means the person is arguing in bad faith.
Colonialism?

I understand your frustration, but the problem isn't that it's far away geographically, it's that your country is allowing criminals to use your IPs to do bad stuff.
I seriously hope someone puts all these tools together in a single package that doesn't force you to get distracted with programming, I don't want to really do more than for example enter "y=x^2" and press "Graph", advanced features can left for later. Kinda like how I don't find a phone a calculator but know it can do so, the default isn't calculating numbers.
They weren't retaliated against, the company investigated their claims and realized that some of them were the problem, not the people who allegedly abused them.
This is great! More and more data is coming out showing the importance of dietary fat.

I personally follow an 8/16 intermittent fasting schedule with a high-fat keto diet. I really feel like it gives me constant energy throughout the day. Always great to see the science behind it.

For anyone who's interested in learning more, /r/keto has a lot of useful links.
I just mean that I'd guess most stereotypes have a correlation nowhere near 0.50, but it'd be wrong to use them to screen candidates even if it was 0.50 or greater. I used the word "extreme" to convey the sense that such a scenario of stereotype accuracy is very unlikely.

I for one find it rather interesting that all (and I mean ALL) reports of nicotine-only lung issues with symptoms similar to the THC issues are coming from teens. There was one in King County WA and it was self-reported. Another one from Delaware was also not having vaped THC... until the patient's brother found his THC carts hidden in his room.
oh i did the same thing years ago when I was working at HostGator except I wrote an ncurses front-end to their live chat support system. granted i was the only person who used it (and it was an extension of a toy project i made that essentially had bots with random names connect and send garbage to see if that would propagate out to support chat and see how many people would notice). but either way it's always fun to build a minimalist interface to things (especially when you don't have the code directly for them and have to reverse engineer stuff!)
i like how you produced statistics without a sample size, dosage regimen, or even qualifying what you mean by 'smoking'. Hookah? Cigars? Pipes? Cloves?

Smoking and Juul hurt public health more than anything else. Not only the smokers themselves get lunge disease or even die, but also other innocent second-hand smokers get hurt. I do not want my little kids' lungs to absorb smoke just because they are playing in public. Smoking and Juul are universally bad with little or no benefits. They should be banned from any public space for good.

Essentially, they use superconducting electronics to create a quantum circuit. It's not the same logic gates as a traditional computer chip and not based on the same physics. The details are difficult & messy.

There are several reasons it doesn't scale easily to more qubits, but you can imagine that you don't want the chip to be large (must be cooled to 25mK!) but the qubits should be spaced quite far apart so they don't influence each other. Also, it's not a very simple circuit, so the layout of the transmission lines ("wire on a chip") becomes difficult to manage. The last problem also scales badly with the number of qubits (the middle qubit becomes progressively harder to reach).

There is a paragraph in the (leaked) paper that describes their chip:

> In a superconducting circuit, conduction electrons condense into a macroscopic quantum state, such that currents and voltages behave quantum mechanically [2, 30]. Our processor uses transmon qubits [6], which can be
thought of as nonlinear superconducting resonators at 5 to 7 GHz. The qubit is encoded as the two lowest quantum eigenstates of the resonant circuit. Each transmon has two controls: a microwave drive to excite the qubit, and a magnetic flux control to tune the frequency. Each qubit is connected to a linear resonator used to read out
the qubit state [5].

Are any of these open source? Would love to check them out.

Basic credibility of the rule of law would certainly benefit, which indirectly benefits all of society.
I believe you. It's just that vague references like "strikes me as odd" usually amount to that when it comes to seeming patterns of comments in threads.
The project is worth ~$100k-$200k. It’s a rounding error in their budget (ICE annual budget is about $8 billion a year for FY2018; for context, US DHS is ~$92 billion/yr)

No one is ever going to deprecate ICE because it’s too expensive. They’ll just pull the money from someplace like NASA (unfortunate reality, not a policy I endorse).

Squeak 3.3 was an effort to evolve into a modular system that would address most of your complaints, but it was abandoned and 3.4 was based on the monolithic 3.2 instead.

Smalltalk V/Win from the early 1990s, on the other hand, did a pretty good job. Your image was saved as v.exe which started out essentially empty while the actual VM and the system classes were stored in a bunch of immutable .dll files. As you developed in the same style as in any other Smalltalk, the v.exe file would grow and grow with all the stuff that was particular to your application. You would then distribute that plus a subset of the .dll files (those needed to run you application but not to develop it).
There is no Plan B for dealing with the climate crisis
It depends on the company, and their market position. If you tax an interchangeable commodity with thin profit margins, the producers of that commodity will raise prices in order to stay in business.

If a company makes a high-margin product with little competition (i.e. most tech companies), they're probably already charging whatever price they think is optimal to maximize their revenue. If taxes go up, they can afford to keep prices steady. If they can raise prices, there's no particular reason why they wouldn't have already done so before these new taxes.

A lot of companies are somewhere in the middle -- if taxes go up, they might eat part of the cost, but also raise prices a little bit.

Random anecdote: I was in Harbor Freight the other day, and someone asked an employee about the impact of Trump's tariffs on their business. The employee said yeah, it's sort of a problem but their profit margin is high enough that they can just eat the cost and keep prices mostly the same. Maybe the employee is just repeating some overly-optimistic view of the situation that the leadership wants to project, but if it's true it's an interesting reminder that even businesses that appear be barely breaking even might actually be generating a very comfortable profit. (Harbor Freight is also privately owned, so they don't have to conform to shareholder expectations of financial performance.)

Oh dear $DEITY, and please let's add reasoning about probabilities in there.

when I worked at the Sears call center, they tracked all orders and service requests through what appeared to be a DOS based service (ironically also named DOS for delivery/order system) and as I recall another one called NPOS that was used to look up items, check availability, etc.

Processed foods are far more complex and involve far more technology than you might imagine. The production process used by the original manufacturer is effectively a black box, so cloning a breakfast cereal involves a major reverse-engineering effort. The thoroughness of that effort is bounded by the need to undercut the original manufacturer on price, which may also affect the quality of ingredients.
One of the things I picked up was a Numworks calculator (https://www.numworks.com/) which makes the technical specs available. I've written my own firmware to play around with calculator UIs for fun.

They don't do a particularly good job with buttons though, and a nicer screen would be a bonus. All in all though, a calculator you program in python is pretty cool.
A friend of mine had a old reverse polish notation calculator at home. I would like a resurgence of them :)
"Programmable" in this context would mean that you can encode complex computational problems into your cat's behavior. The idea is to distinguish a cat that can only calculate cat behavior (which is of course a very easy problem) from a cat that could eventually be engineered to calculate whatever you want.

If you can solve complex computational problems faster than a cat-sized computer by carefully arranging tins of cat food, it would definitely be fair to say your cat computational supremacy is a significant achievement.
Yes, sorry, now too late to edit!
Thank you, davePlug! A bit of both. We offer APIs that help integrate Doqume's semantic technology into enterprise use cases. But the Research Engine and Query Tool piece of it is a SaaS.
No fancy technology is needed.

All they need is inspectors on motorbikes riding between cars that are stopped at traffic lights.

Large number of people are using their phones when waiting at the lights.

A motorbike inspector riding between cars would make an infinite number of catches.

Apologies for nit-picking, but you might like to fix the typo "defintion" in the FAQ.
That seems a bit... excessive? I'd assume you'd just need two debit cards for two different banks that offer ATM fee reimbursements, like Charles Schwab and Fidelity. Keep one in your money belt and the other in your pack that you normally keep in your hotel room. Barring some crazy sudden regional disaster, I'd expect you'd always be able to pull whatever cash you need from an ATM on any given day. Although the VISA system did go down (https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2018/jun/01/visa-outa...) while I was on vacation in London last year, so there's always the possibility of that, I suppose.

It really wasn't that long ago that smartphones and tablets didn't exist, and hundreds of millions of people still managed to travel by using printed maps and asking local people for directions. I think that still works?
There is no “one true ethics.” There are different methods of ethical reasoning, such as Categorical Imperative / Veil of Ignorance etc, and different conclusions that different people can make using these techniques. You can’t just say “there’s no ethical way to condone” torture/executions/meat-eating and make yourself infallible.

Maybe you should relay this story to the FTC and the federal prosecutors so they can investigate this and bring Juul to justice.

You can run a business ethically without losing money. I think what such investors won't be happy about is that you aren't making money fast enough.

You're saying correlation is not causation, a very well known truism. Surely you can't be seriously saying that society or anything else effectively prevents people from equating the two?
Oh! That's interesting. Sure does sound like that. Thanks for the heads up! Huh. Glad I posted this.
This is blatant misinformation. The majority of those with 'vaping illnesses' that have created this Hysteria reported using black market THC vapor cartridges.
this isn't about juul failing -

it's about regulating the vaping industry so that entry /certification costs are so high that only incumbents can afford to certify their products and therefore capture market share from the small/independent players

this will be done by:

1) a draconian 'ban everything' scare-tactic that everyone knows is ridiculous (where we are now)

2) followed up by the 'reasonable compromise measure' (coming soon to a media spectacle near you)
That thing came out over a year ago, and the page hasn't been updated in nearly as long. From what I've understood you don't get direct access to the FPGA, rather they've made a few basic peripherals like SPI, UART etc that you can enable.

So it is more like a configurable microcontroller, rather than a fully programmable FPGA, at least that's my understanding.

Which I guess makes sense, given that FPGA programming isn't exactly n00b friendly from what I've gathered.
Google's device is not encoding complex computational problems. Its just being told to arrange its qbits into a random series of gates. Could it do the Fizz Buzz algorithm? Or output the Fibonacci sequence? If not, then in what way is it programmable?

>People in Australia don't take driving seriously.

Honestly, as an Australian living in the US, i'm not sure you have enough context. After living in both Asia and the US, we're a nanny state on this stuff. In the US, people barely ever get breathe tested and often drive drunk, speed everywhere (70-80mph is a lot faster than 110-120kmh). I've also seen Facetime in use multiple times while on the freeway.
I don't think you as an individual can do a lot, and I don't blame you as an individual. In your position I would've probably done the same.

The situation with poorer countries is completely clear. As people have less and less honest options of providing a dignified living for themselves and their family, their moral principles give way and they turn to crime. Maslow hierarchy of needs and all that. In my opinion, the blame for a lot of these situations is the aggressive exploitative treatment and bullying of "small guys" by "big guys" on the global scene. But that's a separate political discussion, and a long one at that.

One thing that could help, but I doubt it's under your direct control, is taking advantage of systems such as 3-D Secure, which is SMS-based OTP for card payments. My card has this and I'm always happy to verify my payment this way, but payment processors are free to ignore these capabilities and just charge the card. (Conspiracy theory: this is because it hurts the conversion rates, as it adds another step to the funnel.) I think that a payment verified via 3-D Secure would have a much lower risk associated with it.

But overall, I don't think I can offer any suggestions on how to make the system better. I ranted due to a perceived injustice, but that didn't mean I have ways ready to make the situation better. I think that change must come from the powers that be - and they're unlikely to suddenly start giving a shit, so there goes that.

In any case, I thank you for considering my perspective and offering to help move the status quo. Rest assured, my friend, you are not part of the problem.
Thanks for pointing this out. This is a fundamental and major distinction that can easily be missed—the noncommercial use restriction means that it's tied to this vendor and the people who want to spend their nights and weekends enhancing the vendor's profitability. It makes it really difficult to form a community.
You could sit at intersections and make bank recording videos of people driving through. So many people are holding their phone in the hand and interacting with it.
RE: #3. This still requires a Lambda to pre-sign the URL. No?

Granted, this approach is much lighter than uploading an image directly.
wrt Picking and choosing, I think it's still possible to write code in an "FP" style (even just aesthetically) whenever possible or within (say) an OOP program e.g. Abstract Syntax Trees map very well to OOP but the processing of them is very good for functional programming.

For example, I write in an SSA-like style whenever possible i.e. no variable reuse unless declared in loops. Keeping programs as pure as is reasonable can also do wonders for future multithreading even if slightly slower single-threaded.

I think an understanding of what a modern compiler will and won't do can improve the tradeoff between speed and readability (when present, I think optimization-theatre is quite common amongst low level programmers - based on my own biases)
"preferentially treat their own 'ingroup' preferentially"

It might make interesting reading to learn about people who don't have an ingroup or who don't prefer their ingroup.

Or then again, it might just be depressing.
That's fairly disengenuous. When you say "smoking" you presuppose tobacco, but you use "vaping" to account for 8 cluster deaths in two decades without much thought for the substance.

By your logic, eating and shots kill 130 people a day[1], so how long would it take before vaccines are safer than cigarettes?

ImageNet are likely incredibly naive with how they approached and fixed all of this.

from the article "Jamal Jordan, a journalist at the New York Times, explained on Twitter that each of his uploaded photographs returned tags like “Black, Black African, Negroid, or Negro.”"

Which indicates that the vocabulary they used has 4 words to describe a black person's skin color. This severely complicates things and leaves all kinds of unintended biases on the table before even getting to the human element. Though I doubt they used a dictionary at all because 'Black African' isn't really a word. And not found in a few dictionaries I tried online. - if the article is accurate.

They should have curated the vocabulary first, value judgements like 'attractive' should be removed because it means something different for everyone judging the images. Synonyms should be collapsed into one to prevent weighted biases, etc.
But some of the countless third parties perusing that data can.
Vaping under 18, I get it, you’re young and dumb and succumbed to peer pressure. It happened to the best of us. But vaping after 30? It’s like they’re saying: Hey I want you to take me seriously while I am willfully destroying my body in front of you.

If you don’t care about yourself, you can’t be trusted to care about anything.

Which is why I won't be allowing JS to run anytime soon.
This is exactly correct. The US only accounts for 12% of the total carbon output into the atmosphere.

Countries like India and China have been polluting the earth for decades and the Paris accords won't solve any of these issues because there is no repercussions.

Why aren't we going after these countries and demanding answers instead of going after the countries, like the US, that are actually doing something about it?
I'm CG-NAT'ed... There is no guarantee from my ISP that 2 requests to the same site in a short period of time will actually come from the same public IP address. But I might next time I have the urge to visit the reg, because honestly waiting for CF's permission to visit your site has reduced my patience to access the content so I go elsewhere and don't even bother clicking on links to the reg any more, So I honestly don't know if I will be arsed to jump though more hoops just to be told "Your CG-NAT'ed... What else do you want than allowing your whole ISP free rein to the site without having to spin CPU cycles just in-case you are a bot." (because what else can you say?)

Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted, but that's how I feel after seeing how the other side of the net is treated. IF the urge takes me, I'll help, but I dunno when that urge will take me though.

<EDIT>Fun Fact: My public IP address appears to have changed in the time it took me to write this comment. Atleast to the reg, How my ISP handles routing is another black box upon itself.</EDIT>
Watching / listening to American media from 50+ years ago, some of the mainstream accents of that time are now completely dead as far as I can tell. Or at least, I never hear people using those accents in any context today. (And not just the “transatlantic accent”, which seems especially affected, but others I can’t place/name. I dunno, maybe those are just some non-obvious blend of regional accents.)

There’s enough variation in “General American” English, and enough change over time, that I imagine people 100 years from now will readily recognize an “early 21st century” accent.
