As someone who's a recent convert to the language, I have started making several webapps with Elm lately. The biggest thing the language lacks right now IMO is solid tutorials for some concepts. I was able to make my way through but due to the young age in the language tutorials are sparse and widely varied in their effectiveness. In terms of learning the language, the error messages were a godsend. Now that I am more comfortable with the language overall (which only took a few weeks of intermittent learning), I have joined the Elm slack channel.

I can say now that the Elm community is VERY responsive to current devs, and Elm's development is not just focused on new people, but that is where the blog posts and updates focus because, frankly, it's a new concept that Elm is focusing on that many languages do not currently, so it bears mentioning and makes for better updates than normal esoteric patch notes would (which any power user CAN still find).
I wouldn't call you all-right however I do have my suspicions about comments like this. The evidence is very strong now yet here you are casting some doubt. Why?
Yes, wattage matters. The comment you responded to covered that.

> the wattage of a human at rest is 100W which is roughly equivalent.
The article is slightly more nuanced... know when and why to use VPN is more accurate. As mentioned near the end of that article, using known or suspected hostile networks, like public WiFi is a good reason to use VPN.
Mathematics has a linear progression though.

You need to know numbers and simple algebra to tackle trig, you need to know all that to tackle calculus or linear algebra, you need to know those to tackle differential equations.

I would argue CS is closer to philosophy.

Sure you have programming building blocks like variables, loops, conditionals, objects blah blah.

But you quickly head into patterns and conventions that started out as someones opinion on how things should be set up, rather than some fundamental principle.

NordVPN doesn't (or so they claim), but the hacker may have been logging activity.
It won't take decades, because we are not going to do anything.

Well, there might be a bit of corruption. Politicians have relatives who can make big money on environmental projects. The financial industry is all excited about carbon trading, with high-frequency trading and insider trading and intentional crashes and lots more fun. Political "donations" have to be generated somehow, and the lingering possibility of legislation does that well no matter which side a politician has chosen.

Crashing the economy to combat climate change seems like an abstract far-off concept until you lose your source of income. Most countries aren't about to crash their economies. The ones that do so will end up under new management after revolution or after being conquered in their weakened state.
Oh, IPMI and friends are a total mess. Some implementations allow one to take control of a running server remotely especially if they use a shared ethernet for management ( popular in supermicros ). I once had our security geek demonstrate it by taking over the running server, rebooting it using network emulated USB stick, adding a file into /etc and rebooting the server again.

In secure environments one pulls IPMI module from the server or only uses the modules that have their own dedicated NICs that have to be wired to their own management network.
iDRAC is a full onboard whitehat rootkit manufactured and supported by Dell. It runs independently of any OS and has control over the system. It is intended to be a substitute for physical access.
“If you remove the smart people, IQ goes down”
Is the alternative actually worse than SSL? Why?

And no, it doesn't break analytical by Facebook or Google in any substantial way. I know some people use them to evade Netflix region exceptions, and that's about all they're good for.
I'd keep in mind that cloud providers have well-known IP blocks that can sometimes be rate-limited by various internet sites/services, primarily to combat botting. You might inadvertently get caught in the IP range that's being actively rate limited by e.g. Instagram. YMMV.
Sure there is risk, Wordcom - at least the management went to prison - do you think the king would go to prison in this case?
But on a more fundamental level it is not even a sham, a sham would mean that one side breaks the rules - but what are the rules here when the king can just change the taxes if he wants.
Recently came across this interesting approach for organizing knowledge across all domains (life and work):

https://praxis.fortelabs.co/the-p-a-r-a-method-a-universal-s...

I haven't fully implemented it yet, but the general concept is:

Projects: a series of tasks linked to a goal, with a deadline

Areas: a sphere of activity with a standard to be maintained over time

Resources: a topic or theme of ongoing interest

Archives: inactive items from the other three categories
Why is being below visible light a factor? Different wavelengths have different properties that don't necessarily map linearly with frequency, such as the ability to pass through your body.
But this buys you nothing in anonymity to the sites you visit. The IP you use to access the internet is still a single IP tied to you via a billing account with your cloud provider. A commercial VPN service NATs your connection out with thousands of other customers.

So it all depends on what you want to use the VPN for.
There's a simple explanation for this which doesn't require stereotyping all Saudis as lazy: the students you met, who studied abroad, were from wealthy families who could afford to send their children internationally. Why work hard when you can have a good time for four years before rolling home to a cush job? It's the same with the rich in the USA. Unless the kids find a specific passion they mostly just fuck around. I personally know several rich kids from American families who do this, and float around between half-assed jobs for their 20s and 30s.
I don't know your working definition of a metric, but if you think it is coextensive with "determining the consequences of your actions" then I'm sure it's not the right definition in this context. If you think it's necessary to measure before choosing a right course of action in every circumstance, I think you'll find that belief dissolves under a little scrutiny.

From the reviews, the book seems to have some light statistics and introduction to Monte Carlo methods. I don't think it would have much to teach me about statistics or philosophy. It might be useful for someone without a background in statistics who is forced to navigate a business environment where people value metrics above all else, but I'm arguing against such environments.
Honestly, I've met a handful of IT bureaucrats who enjoyed the power trip of holding up dozens of people on a multimillion dollar project over an outdated policy.

These people are the exception, not the norm, but it only takes one.
Nope.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/schedule/14/made says:
"(9) An amber signal, when shown alone, conveys the same prohibition as red, except that, as respects any vehicle which is so close to the stop line that it cannot safely be stopped without proceeding beyond the stop line, it conveys the same indication as the green signal which was shown immediately before it."

If you interpret this to the letter, it means that if there's no car behind you, you should indeed come to a screeching halt at an amber light. If it's "safe" to stop, then amber means stop.

Not saying I agree with this, but that's what the law says.
For organizing collections, that would be awesome!
NASA has a collection of scientists that believe a range of things about the climate. I watched a good video by JPL back in April discussing how lacking our models are of clouds and cloud cover and their influence on climate: https://youtu.be/ra9AFNco3lI

Solar cycles indirectly affect cloud cover not by variations in irradiance but by increases in cosmic rays from reduction in solar magnetic shield.

Some call this the Svensmark effect, after the Danish scientist who proved this influence in cloud chamber experiment from 2017 (https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2019/03/SvensmarkSol...)

Finally, even the IPCC has acknowledged this and are in the process of altering their CMIP model for 2021, CMIP6, to include stronger solar forcing: https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/10/2247/2017/

Climate science is not settled.

The ISP knows who you are and where you live; the VPN provider only knows your source IP address and information gleaned from your payment method (which in many cases can be "not much", as VPN providers support pseudo-anonymous payments).
You say that like reputation matters. Bethesda has a reputation for buggy messes and actively sought to burn customers with fallout 76. The game companys' reputation is part of the product, you get to play the game of hating on EA. If you charged $230 for a con that exaggerated some drama around how bad EA is (or whatever), you'd likely sell tickets. Most large companies can afford to and do throw cons, I don't know ticket prices though.

Blizzard isn't about the older generation anymore. That is dying off naturally. They have built a new set of products for kids.
> Moreover, the DNS failure might not come from the DNS server, but a misconfigured computer/router/DHCP server, etc. And it depends a lot on your DNS server itself. It is a single point (chain, if you want) of failure, and tends to fail quite often, in my experience.

Misconfigured networking is going to make networking fail anyway. DNS is an amazingly resilient system since it has had decades to mature.

That doesn't make it any less amazing.
> Yes git isn't intuitive or self explanatory for newcomers, but that's only because it's optimised to be maximally efficient for experienced users.

But that implies that a trade-off has to be there, which it does not. If you design your features well, it can both be quite intuitive for newcomers while still affording efficiency for experts.

A great example is the staging area in git. It is a horrible feature, that causes lots of interactions with other commands that are inconsistent and unclear, especially for newcomers. How to do it better? Just make the staging area a full-fledged commit. Considering that it's already pretty easy to edit a commit anyways, promoting the workflow of just polishing a commit before publication is more intuitive for users, and it means questions like "how do I see what the diff of the staging area by itself is?" is really just "how do I see what the diff of a commit by itself is?" One of those questions I already know the answer to, the other I don't.
How close the expiration date is matters.

Let's say the snack bars come in a package of 10 and the expiration date is 2 days from now. Do you want to be forced choose between eat 5 bars a day or throwing some of them out?

If the alternative is to buy them from some other source that will give you a package that doesn't expire for 2 months (for the same price, all other things being equal, etc.), then that is indeed a more attractive offer.

> "...life should be enjoyed and not sucked through because you're in some rat race with your imaginary/real competitors"

Reminds me of words from Mary Schmich's famous "Sunscreen" column (https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/chi-schmich-sunscreen...): "... Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself."

Not sure whether I agree with you and her or not. Yes, the race is damned long and I recognize that it is ultimately only with myself. On the other hand, much like trying to beat your own high score, it can be kind of fun and, perhaps more realistically, like many I have nothing better to do.
We Don't See More Public GraphQL APIs
I know a few people who have lost a lot of weight on Atkins/keto. I think they are successful diets because they provide bright-line rules for people to follow, but they are also extreme and potentially dangerous. None of them could maintain those diets long-term because they developed things like kidney pain. Caloric restriction, eating a good balance of fat/carbs/protein, laying off saturated fats, sugar, and booze, will fix 95% of people's dietary problems, but for people with weight/eating issues the middle ground is often just too difficult a path to tread.
A lot of people actually want to get paid. They don't avoid paying jobs because the langauge is new to them, unless... someone else knows the language better and gets hired, which is not a problem for the employer.
GNU Emacs reference cards got me started. Maybe they can help you, too.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/index.html

However, these don't explain how to install magit. For that, you'll need to edit a ~/.emacs file, set up the package manager, and use "use-package" to get magit installed.

PS: using M-x (ALT-x) will bring up a command prompt with completion.
Books here could be a stand-in for what Thomas Kuhn has called paradigms [1]. Broadly, each science has a core set of beliefs that are accepted by a majority of the scientists working within that discipline. Books can be seen as the formalization of a paradigm as a way to teach new people (e.g., undergraduates) how to operate within a discipline as opposed to research papers where the boundaries of current paradigms are tested and pushed (or opening up the black box, as you mention).

Click links in the article? I feel accomplished with the fact I read the article....

I think the push to make these scientist seam like wackos, is all the money loss for the new tech(and even existing tech)

Oh, and more important than the studies is who is doing them and who is funding them.
Can you link to said parable? I have not heard it and Google doesn't turn up useful results for "parable of the three letters".
Assuming someone bought in at the absolute bottom of the market in 2008 and has continued to hold for 11 years, fund symbol SPY has yielded 6.5% per year before inflation.

The median net worth in the USA is $50,000, inclusive of real estate wealth which is a bit illiquid. Assuming the median citizen puts in $50,000 in 2008, that person would receive $3,250 in pre-tax wealth per year.

This is barely enough to put a low quality roof over family members' heads in Vietnam, let alone the USA. And we haven't talked about food, transport, or health insurance as well.

So then, I don't think it's sufficient to say that the median citizen can expect to gain very much from the products of asset ownership.
They had all the capital they needed to diversify their economy when it would have made a difference. Now it's too late and they will reap the consequences.
Not true. We've had sufficient technology for a long time. We've been sending robots to Mars for decades.

We just haven't made it an objective to terraform Mars. We've even been quite cautious about avoiding even the possibility of transporting microbes there and "contaminating" it.

But the basic mechanics of how to terraform are known. Elon Musk mentioned nuking the poles of Mars as an option. Changing the gas composition could be done, albeit slowly, with enough resources and motivation. You can send robots in advance of human settlers to prepare things.

Self-replicating robots would be more ideal, and that is not a solved problem, but you could likely build partially self-replicating robots that are replenished with "vitamins" much like how the RepRap project does.

Various NASA theorists have written about such things

Some thoughts:

1. You have to keep two ports locked down. If you can secure your own laptop, you can secure a cloud instance. The cloud instance you're basically just using as a proxy is a lot less important than what's on your phone or computer.

2. Only you are using the system, and you're not logging. Have an issue? Tear it down and start another. Automated scripts out there generate unique keys every time.

3. A commercial VPN is a honeypot in a way -- it's a ripe target. Many people are tunneling through it, doing sketchy things that certain parties want to track -- and your traffic could get caught in a dragnet (this, of course, depends on your use case: you may want to blend in).

4. Your ISP tracks and sells your data. I mean, the entire reason I use a VPN is because I was sick of my ISP routing my searches through their servers before my intended search destination, snagging my Netflix info and using it to create advertising profiles. Why would you trust them?

5. It literally takes less than 10 minutes (5:59 from an iPhone, the last time I launched one) to launch and connect to your own VPN instance to play with (https://github.com/jenh/sevenminutevpn is mine, but there are others, like Streisand or Algo) -- if nothing else, you become a more educated consumer and can better understand your threat model AND what to look for in a paid provider.
It's based in US.

How about let people say what they want and let the public judge by themselves? Is that so hard to do nowadays? You just don't endorse anything individuals say, that's all.

Aren't some forms of cancer also overreactions by the imune system? Some kind of Leukemia comes from phagocytes, I just read in another thread this morning
Users trust The VPN services expertise in managing all aspects of the network to be secure. Nord failed by not managing the provider relationship to the level of security they promise to their users in their marketing.

I'm not saying it could or could not have been prevented. It is a fact that they did NOT live up to their promise made to their client users.

There must be some independent certification of these VPN providers by some sort of industry association to restore confidence in this non-transperant product that promises protection.
You might need to simply create a workplace rule that powerpoints are not to be considered stores of information, and that any specs contained in them will be discarded at the end of the presentation.
No, I don't have to worry. That would make me unhappy.

Worry is bad for your health. Don't worry about far-off uncertain things that are out of your control. It'd just get you down, paranoid and freaking out, when you could instead focus on the things that matter in life.

Entering the online education market [Thread]
But that's already been happening for years. It wasn't until Blizzard banned a HS player that people got riled up. Prior to that, no one really cared. In fact, those doing the boycott weren't planning on doing anything prior to this. It wasn't until the community they were apart of was affected that they did something.

If anything, Blizzard doing what it did helped the cause more than anything. If they hadn't done anything, no one would have cared (because people weren't doing a damn thing on this scale before).
To be fair, they can't actually see more than hostnames & IP addresses (assuming the use of TLS, which is becoming ubiquitous), so implying that they sell your "Internet history" makes it sound worse than it is.

I've always assumed VPN providers sell whatever data they can too.

“Why Now?” Is a Weak Question
It could have been something like https://www.zdnet.com/article/vulnerabilities-found-in-the-r...

There were many IPMI/iDRAC/etc. exploits published in the past few years. Throw a dart at a list of them, and you'll probably find one that was unpatched in most systems as of March 2018.
The normal way to do it is to conduct a long term study with control and test subjects. Carrots have been studied for a long time, as long as you consume them in moderate amounts they are safe but in large amounts you can get all sorts of issues. It's probably the same way with 5G radiation but we don't know yet.

And I don't think the government of Belgium consists entirely of youtube soccer moms but there are probably some of them :)
TLS is probably not sound, judging by history, even if exploits aren't known. But apart from that, there may have been ways to infiltrate a target client from the VPN host and make their TLS moot.
Your observation is definitely correct.

I took care of my mother until she passed away at 90. When she was young she never relaxed about anything. I think this was because of growing up during the great depression.

When she came to live with us she became very sweet and child like in her outlook. I think it was because she trusted us and felt she could relax. I feel sorry for my sisters because they only knew her middle years and never saw the person I saw.
You can’t always ensure that all traffic goes over SSL. DNS traffic is an example. I always assume that hostile public networks like free WiFi have agents actively trying to man in the middle any connections they can. If your device has a known exploit and a single connection not going over SSL you drastically increase your exposure on a public WiFi, hence the one use case for VPN.
California doesn’t have the highest poverty rate in the nation. A lot of deep red states have the highest poverty.
