Yes. It's like saying if your colleagues are using the N-word and making racist statements, would African Americans in the room feel worse than the white people? Yes they would.

No matter how "woke" or allied you think you are, there's no way the lived experience of a white person reacts the same way to people reinforcing systemic racism than that of those who have to live under that experience.
That's fair. However, the proposal in the parent comment's link (and other proposals like it) is asking for a 17.5% consumption tax, which would be an absurd gift for the wealthy. Even for not-wealthy people like me, it would be a huge boon, while the middle class would get hosed.
I think in a legal sense it is yours. Heck you could even sell it, the license just requires you to provide the code if you change it. If you don't abide the license you can loose that ownership (by the legal copyright case), in a same way you could loose the ownership of your car or house in certain circumstances.

> it implies ability to control, as in control when and what gets updated as the OP is upset about.

Many routers run linux, the provider doesn't have to give you ability to control that OS, but in accordance with the copyright law they have to give you the code when you ask for it.
So in that case you own both the device and the code but you don't necessary fully control it (unless it's flashed with OpenWrt or similar).
So control and ownership are different things.
Yeah watches can't even detect whether you are sleeping or not. The products in the market are mainly accelerometer based and aren't really reliable if you e.g. are awake but don't move.
My friend and I would compete over who could get the highest score on the LCD display. Unfortunately it seems that wear over time slows it down. No matter how much stronger and experienced I get, I cannot beat the score I hit on day 2 on the same ball weeks and months later.
It depends on whether you restrict "tech" to FAANG/bay area. There are tech companies that pay ~40K for entry level programmer/analyst positions that said contractors pay $80+, or did ~5 years ago.

Conversely, I was able to use a service of this kind to reconnect branches of my family separated by genocide. And I personally don't mind if the police have my DNA. If some cousin of mine committed a crime, and this helps them somehow, all the better in my view. You can make your own choices for yourself but I don't feel like a sucker at all.

So if the person in front of your stall has a stolen card, and you are about to sell them some goods. Let us say you are selling them a tv. They play with their stolen card, take the tv, the card owner sees a transaction they don't know and complain to their bank, you get a chargeback. You just lost a tv. In the UK this is rare, due to chip & pin. It is very easy to defend a chargeback when the customer entered a pin into your terminal.

If someone wants a tv delivered to their house you do a 'customer not present' transaction, which can use their house number and area code to authenticate that the card is registered at the address you are delivering to. Now if they raise a chargeback you can defend it by showing a delivery note etc. If you use a 'not present' to do a face to face sale surely you have just defeated the security model entirely?
I think you answered your own question. You can’t go further in space to explore if the costs are high. NASA has the funding and power to shape requirements that make those Uber rides for their probes much much cheaper.
You don't think there's any difference between what Google is doing and the protocol for signing people up to a drug trial? Is it obvious they are equally consensual?
> NASA could not do that decades ago because then we didn't have good enough computers to [...] control the engine to land vertically.

Autonomous propulsive landing isn't something SpaceX invented. Besides the DC-X in the mid-90s which is often cited in these discussions, there are the Soviet Luna probes. In 1966 the Luna 9 lander used retrorocket thrusters to arrest its descent to the lunar surface to 6 m/s at 5 meters above the lunar surface (airbags handled the rest.) This is not quite as impressive as what SpaceX does today for a few reasons, but it seems to me that a concerted effort to iterate on this tech could have been a lot more successful decades ago than you think.

(I believe in 1970 Luna 17 landed on the moon with no airbags, but I don't know much about Luna 17)
They don’t seem to mention how it was detected in space in the first place.

Is there planetary nebulae in our solar system and it was detected with a spacecraft? If so where did it come from if it came from a dying star?
By 7 years old, kids get that hypocrisy is wrong
Gina Kolata is a fine scientific writer, but I think that the presentation of the exclusions is a bit too brief and subtle.

The main controversy being addressed is whether revascularization in stable disease has benefit. Not heart attack patients. Not people with significant left main coronary artery disease. COURAGE and this trial address that question in different ways.

It is addressed in the article, but you kind of are left to draw your own conclusions:

> The participants in Ischemia were not experiencing a heart attack, like Senator Bernie Sanders, nor did they have blockages of the left main coronary artery, two situations in which opening arteries with stents can be lifesaving. Instead, the patients had narrowed arteries that were discovered with exercise stress tests.

This doesn't at all address the need for revasularization during a heart attack (about which there is universal agreement). It addresses whether revascularizing people not having a heart attack can be helpful.
So how does it work exactly? Are functions forbidden?
Something important I realized when I was about 30 is no matter how beautiful and sexy your girlfriend is, sooner or later (usually after about 6 months of living together) sexual chemistry will be gone. Not completely, but there will be times when you’re bored with her (physically, emotionally, or intellectually), and are interested in other women. That’s normal. What remains however is whether or not you want to work together with that person on building/maintaining a family (raising kids). Think of kids as a difficult long term project, like a “startup”, where the qualities of your “cofounder” can make it or break it. I’d look for the same personal qualities in both a wife and a cofounder. Source: married for 12 years with 2 kids, currently looking for a startup cofounder :)

PS. actually there are several independent kinds of chemistry between people (sexual, emotional, intellectual) and what I wrote equally applies to any of them. Also, you will get used to some of the negative qualities of your wife, but not all, and those can drive you crazy and cause serious conflicts. Try to identify them, and do not expect them to go away.

When Walter worked for Boeing he worked on the 757 trim system, which has never had a problem yet, therefore Gigablah can probably relax about the fact that Walter worked for Boeing.

The rendered view usually looks eye-candy which is a factor of inspiration. E.g. I experience immediate emotional reward as soon as I write something in Typora, it feels like calligraphy while is effortless. It's a dopamine trigger which can encourage you to structure and write the stuff down which is good for productivity.

This also means you can produce pretty-looking structured documents while storing them in a concise format which is trivial to both read and to process on almost every machine. You can also use a script to turn an markdown it into a beautiful print-ready PDF by means of LaTeX.

I've even switched to Typora from MS Word.

Needless to say it is particularly convenient to publish Markdown on GitHub pages.

> Markdown seems like the one language that's most suited to a simple text editor

It is, by design, yet rendered view is more pleasure to write and to read.
Funny, I noticed the same thing a couple years ago. (I'm in NYC.)

Except it hasn't exactly disappeared -- it's simply been replaced by Pepper Jack on all my local grocery shelves, which is of course Monterey Jack with added jalapeños, and is always in stock and lots of it. (Only very rarely do I see pure Monterey anymore.)

I'm guessing since really the only thing people use Monterey Jack for is melting in/on Mexican food, or on crackers, which always goes with the flavor profile of jalapeños, that it's replaced it because it just looks prettier while doing the same job?
But your original comment in this thread basically amounts to "damn kids these days, they earn too much and don't know shit". Plus random insults about how they think they deserve it all (and nobody else).

It doesn't take a thought police to reject that as almost surely greatly exaggerated and undeservedly disrespectful.

Should those humans, along the way, do the work to exist here more harmoniously, the planet would not be increasingly inhospitable.

Starting that work now is a huge economic opportunity too.

There is no need to continue to squander resources.

There are a lot of wants to do that. Understandable too. No judgement.

We have a global priority conversation coming. The sooner the better.
Totally agree. I find network management bad wherever you go.

Systemd-networkd is fine layout wise, it's just the tooling that could be improved upon. Also here you see the problem with systemd-networkd being shipped together with systemd deb, if it were to be standalone it would be so easy to backport just that.
If Boeing had a dick Walter Bright would be sucking it.

Boeing makes planes that kill pilots and passengers. I don't know why that's so hard to say.
Well. Complexity kills. This is true on so many levels. Whatever was promised by futurists or science, is most of the time a marketing blurb. But it almost always adds complexity. Maybe it is a good idea to avoid easy gains. You get born, you have to learn the ropes and use your skills. You always build on the knowleadge of others. But you have to learn it first. That's something other than reciting.
since the mud sill connects the house to the foundation (on a wood-framed house at least) it is often the most heavily damaged and awkward to repair, but if it is squared away properly then later work is built on the same ground truth. I am wondering what the analog for mud sills is within software, i.e. what do you have to get right at the start to ensure that your later work won't need to be reworked?

> have as far as I can tell completely ignored the fact that that software, driven by input from a single AoA sensor, creates a very short critical failure path which requires immediate and precise human intervention to avert a fatal accident.

Not too precise. Lowering flaps or not raising them in the first place solves it since flaps disengage MCAS. And on the Lion Air flight, the AOA sensor was already squawked prior to the flight but the incompetent Lion Air maintenance process ignored it despite that sensor being on the MEL for that airplane. Lion Air allowed a legally un-airworthy aircraft to depart. Boeing owns some of the blame, but the pilot-factories of third world airlines deserve a lot of the blame as well. In Lion Air’s case, their maintenance failures deserve 100% of the blame because they allowed a plane to take off with a system required for airworthiness to not be fixed.

If a plane requires a widget to be legally airworthy and maintenance and the pilot in command knowingly allowed the plane in the air without that functioning widget, anything that happens as a result afterwards is the fault of the maintenance and pilot in command. That the widget was required; that’s on Boeing. That the widget failed, that’s also on Boeing; that the plane was allowed to fly by that airline — that’s on the airline.

I think the opposite, configuration as data, is better engineering. It's less flexible, yes, but flexibility is not the only goal.
I can definitely see the advantages! But don't you find yourself writing the exact same CSS hundreds or even thousands of times with this approach?
It was not pioneered by Facebook at all. Before the web was even a thing, there was a split between dialup BBSes. In my area it was WWIV vs. Wildcat.

The WWIV boards were all pseudonymous, open and welcoming. There was pretty much no discrimination there (because no one knew your gender, age, religion, skin color, or class unless you told them). They were typically run by a mix of ordinary people, including those who would be discriminated against in real life.

The Wildcat boards in my area were all real-name only, enter your address and phone number to register an account and the sysop will call to verify. Those were the ones who claimed to be more civil, but were rife with discrimination, bullying, and snobbery. They were typically run by the more wealthy and powerful, who never faced discrimination.

The early internet, with IRC, usenet, web forums, and even some way into the blog phase, seemed to have followed the WWIV path, and it was good. But then the wealthy and powerful wanted more control and more data to discriminate on, and they resurrected the old real-names policies.

But my point still stands. That was a design decision. There is nothing technically stopping them from changing it if they felt they could ease the strain on their downstream bandwidth by using more localized caching and even P2P schemes.

In the end it just further highlights that downstream bandwidth is cheap if they don’t mind sending 20 copies of Stranger Things in 4K down the pipe to a single node covering a neighborhood. So why the data caps?

Ozymandias is probably my favorite poem ever.
The Lion Air maintenance department should be in jail then. They let a plane in the air when they knew they had a bad AOA sensor. That sensor is required by the Type Certificate and they allowed the plane to fly knowing it was faulty.
This is on the money, it’s all about incentives. In Australia there is a public and a private health system. In public, the surgeons are paid a salary which is the same whether they do 1000 or zero operations. In private they are paid per procedure, with zero salary. The probability of getting an operation is very different for the same condition in public and private.

I think cars have pretty much shaped our world in a way where they became a necessary "evil".

Simplified thought: the local grocery dies because everyone can easily drive 10km to the supermegamarket, which makes driving there the only choice.

It would be interesting to see how our world would have evolved without cars. There sure would be a lot missing, but also a lot of things simply done in a different way. Maybe this kind of SF already exists? Cyclepunk anyone?

> I assume the audience of a post like this is other security researchers?

Or "low level/back end" developers; people knowledgeable with operating systems, assembly, and hardware.
Chip & pin is not a requirement in the US, but I agree with you that using it does alleviate risk. This is why Stripe offers a fee discount to 2.7%+5c when using their card reader vs. 2.9%+30c. These are common fee structures for other gateways like Square.

The app runs all transactions through the Connect accounts Radar fraud filters, and the user can opt to force several levels of validation on the card (CVV, zip/postal, name, address).

These types of transactions happen all the time, regardless of if they're more secure or not.
Hmm. I'd need to see some research to believe that's happening.

It seems like non-software folks are getting paid the same, leading to wider inequality.

Charless Stross has illustrated this in his novel "Accelerando" (strongly recommended!). In the future, even though interstellar travel is technologically feasible, (almost) no one does it - because why the hell would any of the post-human superintelligences want to venture away from the hyper-connected, inner solar system-spanning Network where all the power, resources and fun are concentrated?

I am a huge fan of the Surface line, and a Pro 7 may very likely be my next laptop - but I just don’t get the Surface Pro X as a product.

It is more expensive than the Pro 7, and the x86 emulation has been disappointingly slow.

Reviews have been poor on average, and it’s all reminiscent of the Surface RT debacle - except at least the RT was less expensive - not more.
Absolutely agree. My only gripe is that consuming a blackbox (ie third party) Web Component inside a Web Component can get problematic. Your options become create a global override system or (shudder) Shadow DOM piercing.
Yeah, the Unity interface really messed up the recent releases of Ubuntu.
You add a class called font-bold which adds a bold style to the element. Your client decides the element should be italic not bold. You then have to go back and change all your bold elements to use font-italic.
Author here — a common question I’ve seen in the comments that I didn’t cover in the article is how you do responsive design with this approach.

Here’s a link to the responsive design guide in the Tailwind CSS docs that covers it in detail:

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/responsive-design

The TL;DR is you have breakpoint-specific versions of your utilities, so you can define all of your responsive behaviour directly in your markup.

For example this element would be `block` by default (on mobile) and `flex` when the browser is at or above some defined “medium” breakpoint:

<div class=“block md:flex”>

Two years after writing that article I can say CSS definitely feels “solved” to me, and every time I have to go back to an old Tailwind project it’s very easy to make changes.

If you’re building things with React, I’d also encourage you to explore projects like Emotion and Theme UI which allow you to work with the same philosophical approach (styling elements directly instead of through “hooks” and some separate style layer) but with a bunch of neat advantages that aren’t possible with a regular class/CSS-based API, like having better control over how style definitions override each other when applied to the same element.

Personally I’m still very happy using Tailwind even in React projects, because the syntax is more terse and it’s nice to have a singular styling paradigm that I can use even outside React projects.
I wonder if everyone actually does initial testing and bug fixing after committing, because otherwise any effect of programming language choice might be gone before the code reaches the commit logs.

I'm not sure it makes sense to consider code correctness separately from productivity. You can probably get code written in any language to roughly similar levels of correctness. But how much work does it take to get there? That's what I'm really interested in.

You seem to believe that Facebook and other traditional social networking sites are the only way to alleviate boredom and isolation online. Usenet and more traditional web forums also fill this need and don’t need to make billions of dollars, so they aren’t as infested with privacy violations and intrusive ads.
