There is a lot of history here that you may not be aware of. Security researchers didn’t invent it, that’s kind of the point. Microsoft did, to further their own interests, in a way that was very adversarial to security researchers, and one of their vendors at the time (@Stake) tried to formalize it in an RFC that went nowhere. And the primary author of that RFC, who was an @stake employee (Wysopal), has also publicly disavowed it.

This isn’t surrendering the term, not only because Microsoft largely invented it, but even they disavowed it 10 years ago. Not even Microsoft wants that term anymore!

You cannot “insist” what it means. You’re trying to redefine it from it’s original framework to fit your personal definition of “responsible”, which nobody agrees on, and which is one of the many reasons that it’s a dumb term.

It’s like saying you believe in buying cars that are responsible colors. If you want to communicate efficiently and without being inflammatory and presumptuous in a community where reasonable minds have long disagreed, you should just say “red”. Everyone knows what that means.

Everyone is a bee to an extent, unless they live as a hermit. We’re all part of a larger system and have certain things to do (work, pay taxes, and so on). With the advent of the internet, behavior will continue to grow more hive-like due to basically instantaneous communication. Is that so bad?
"... as intended."

There's the catch. The web developer's intent does not necessarily align with the user's. The developer wants to use Javascript. What does the user want?

The simple example is a website that just delivers information.

The user just wants the information as quickly and easily as possible. She does not care whether Javascript is used to deliver it.

She does care however if the delivery is more resource-intensive and slower.

The data tell a different story. I've offered them in a another comment, but see increasing household income for every quintile here [1] and decreasing poverty here [2].

Apple enjoys all the privileges of being based in a western liberal democracy, but it’s starting to feel like they don’t really believe in those values. All that guff about privacy, the environment, minority rights etc, yet when faced with real tyranny they will do literally anything in return for market access. The lesson is clear: don’t expect soft power alone to topple the autocrats of the 21st Century.
Some schemes create paper trails in federal agencies, others do not. In America you can acquire rifles without filling out any paperwork at all, let alone lying to a federal agency on paper. Converting those rifles to automatics can, again, be done without lying on any paperwork in a variety of ways (some more effective than others.) Somebody up to no good would be better served by low-profile acquisition schemes that fly under the radar of regulators, rather than getting their attention then trying to actively deceive them.

All schemes may be risky, but they're not all equally risky. Some schemes are more risky than others. However all of these schemes probably have negative expected payouts if you factor in the FBI being pretty damn good at their jobs. Whatever crime you hypothetically plan on committing with automatic rifles will almost certainly not have a positive payoff when you include the cost of getting busted, and you almost certainly will eventually get busted. When smart people decide to be criminals, they choose white collar crime (arrest rates are very low, and sentencing for those captured is frequently lax.) Violent crime is for idiots who fail to rationally consider the likely consequences of their actions.
Without intending to disagree, is there a link to that you could provide? China notoriously hides/doctors/doesn't publish public data like this.
Even in regulated markets there are problems. I have a friend who built an HFT algorithm that he was using for trading stocks. He had some really good results with early testing. But at some point he was confused why many of his buy/sell orders weren't being executed despite being open for several minutes (hours?) his algo would make bids far away from the current spread, anticipating movement. He finally concluded that some institutional traders must have access to sub-penny ordering, despite it being against regulation.

I didn't believe him at first, since, the more likely problem was elsewhere, but then a few months later sub-penny trading in dark pools was all over the news. This was like 5 or 6 years ago. He's since moved on to other things having come to similar conclusions, that trying to play such a rigged game was futile.

Are food trucks not "the familiar"? In my experience, if there's a food truck, I can find it in the same place at the same time, either daily or weekly, all year round (unless it's seasonal, i.e. catering to college students or not something people want much of in winter).

I currently go to a food truck once a week or so because it provides a hot lunch, of reliably decent quality, both faster and cheaper than nearby sandwich places. Other food trucks I've seen at other places and other times of my life have followed similar patterns, and if I've gone to them it's for similar reasons.
You know how you can use Selenium or (on the command line) `expect` to script tasks that aren't APIable? This guy made a company doing that for GUIs that are commonly in use in Japan. Japan suffers from some early adopter pain in that a lot of the software they have now accelerated productivity greatly when introduced but is now coming up against the shortcomings of non-hookable software and now exists through path dependency alone. Making that automatable turns out to be hella valuable.
Reusing JavaScript Tests
For children who are still growing physically and mentally, both height and intellectual development are correlated with age, aren't they?. In an analysis where you are treating children who actually have a range of ages as a single age (i.e. "5th graders") finding some correlation between height and intellectual development isn't that surprising. It is just an expression of the underlying correlation between their age and intellectual development.
From 2007 through 2017. 1511 people, or 151 person per year. And they were just detained, not shot dead or sent to gulags forever.

Now, honest question, no sarcasm.

~100 people die EACH DAY in car crashes in USA. 25 people die annually due to lightning strikes.

Is there any chance to not being depressed with all of that stats? I mean, if 150 detentions per year in nation of 327 million people (0.000045%) make you depressed and terrified, what are your chance to feel yourself content and happy?
> Best we could tell someone was front running us due to an artificial delay for our account (delay between trades went to ~20ms up from our prior steady speed of 3-7ms) and/or a bunch of the trades in the orderbook were bogus.

I wouldn't be surprised, given that traditional HFT companies are building cryptotrading desks and they have a lot more capital to play with too.
There's always the option that we will die off, that we are experiencing a great filter.

Perhaps we have changed our environment in such a great way that it is impossible to avoid it?

We have the(correct) climate change narrative that makes people think declining population is a good thing, instant communication and very rapid dissemination of information and tools which enable a "winner takes all" situation(which means 1% of the population has the means to comfortably raise 100 children, which they won't, while 99% can only raise 1.X children, which they are doing), birth control, anonymous and tolerant societies where it is ok to be childless(and it really is ok), pursuit of happiness(which was never a thing in human history), non-religiousness(all major religions value having children), long working hours, "good parenting"- which is a good thing for the children, but it makes raising children incredibly expensive in money and time, both of which most people don't have, the fall of monogamy, the ridiculous real estate prices, the rise of mental dissorders -- all of which lead to below replacement birth rates.

Don't count on subgroups to save the day, their higher birth rates will plummet as soon as we hook them up to our values and we free them of their oppressive values.
Fuses or breakers? In the US everything is on individual breakers, but only bathrooms have GFCI (RCD) outlets.
I made exactly the same choice after the dot com boom. I have a wonderful rich life with less money but very high quality of life and more than anything, freewill, compared to peers.

Highly recommended. The most valuable things to me are love first and time second. The benefits of freedom to be good and feel good about what I do are immeasurable.
What stability? Persia (current Iran) has been under constant attack from its neighbors for thousands of years, most notably Alexander's conquest, the Arab invasion, and the Mongols.
I have fond memories of rolling across the expansive hood of an 80's lincoln as it rolled through a stop sign in southern california. My bike was fine, but the proud square badge left a superficial scrape across my abdomen. Otherwise uninjured, with an awesome 'scar' to show my friends, I thought it was awesome. Surely, a solidly affixed one may have proven disasterous. I was less excited when a schoolbus did the same. Dispite conforming to none of the modern safety standards, I had no cool scar, just the terror of nearly being thrown under bus tires.

Not sure what that says for the Tesla, or modern suv/cuvs in general.

Also, the actual bumpers have been invisible, as they now hide behind plastic facias. No cars have metal front ends anymore for pedestrian safety. Even hoods have a required clerance above the engine, hence the recent high hooline trend. Not sure how the electric truck will handle that gracefully.
CSS Stylish Custom Checkbox and Radio Input
I guess I focussed too much on the PDF aspect, my desire is some sort of system where if I annotate something, be it a PDF, website, image, text file or whatever, I'd like the contents of that annotation (with maybe some context/metadata around where that annotation was from) to go to some central place.

It's tricky though because a lot of apps are siloed, and the interaction ideally would be almost seamless. Like taking a screenshot.

The problem here seems more unwanted pregnancies than with teenagers having sex.

I se how less sex is an easy solution to the problem, but it is also the wrong one. Your teenage years are when you have the more energy and hormones, you are basically built to have sex. Not to mention it's healthy for the mind and body.

It would be like not allowing teens ride bikes because of possible crash with cars since stats show teens are more likely to have accidents than adults.

Better find a way to limit the accidents themself: you get healthy kids, having fun, and they grow into better adults.

I'm perfectly happy with the touch screen in my Tesla S 70D. It has rid the car of the ridiculous clutter of buttons, dials, knobs, and switches that seem to be just sprinkled all over most other cars.

All the critical functions of the car are controlled by steering column stalks, steering wheel scroll buttons and the brake and accelerator pedals, and the critical visual feedback is in the dashboard.

No ads have appeared so far.
In that scenario it's kind of like a much nicer systemd for docker containers.
Alas, while I want to produce accurate and attractive figures, after trying hard for many years, I find that my talents just do not turn that way.

I write texts that are free, so I am unable to pay someone to do it. At this point I use Asymptote, which does a very good job in the accuracy area and is perfectly professional in appearance. But I just love these figures and I wish I could convince my computer to turn them out.
A lithium battery is made of lithium compounds not raw lithium. Expecting it to react the same way as pure lithium is a profound misunderstanding of basic chemistry.
But they did create a protocol with even more layers.

Also our solution did not need two way communication (as per TCP) but had encryption. This is key in a lot of infrastructure when you change environments (e.g. DMZ to some internal subnet). TCP and SSL were supported, too. Our software was used by one of the larges Unix installations and one of the largest telcos in the world. While theirs, not so much.
This decision seems very adult. No one else’s game is ruined. After decades playing go, it’s time to move on. The player has changed. The game has changed.
I personally never used RSS and I think mostly because I always use Twitter.
Thanks for sharing that, good example! I have done well in my career, but for 20+ years working for large companies, I took Mondays off every week and had HR/accounting only pay me 80% of my salary. Later when I was a consultant, I would also take long periods off, like you do. I left money on the table, and I am fine with that.

Renaming Climate Change
We collectively may be #1, but only one out of the billions of use will be THE #1. But you see more than one doctor, more than one author, and more than one musician. In any matter of intellect, unless you're an blindly egotistical narcissist, you'll probably realize that there's at least one person on the planet unambiguously better at it than you are. When computers become better than the best of us, only that single person (and a large number of narcissists) stops thinking they're #1. For the rest of us, matters are unchanged (job market notwithstanding).

IANAS, but from what I understand, it's more complicated than that. A parent's or grandparent's childhood health has been shown to affect the growth and health of their descendents. These effects only go away after several generations of adequate nutrition and health. Tall women tend to give birth to larger babies not (directly) because of a "tall gene", but because of the physiological realities of their bodies (i.e., more space). We've recently identified several traits that are hereditary and that can stunt growth, but that had previously not been linked directly to a given family's shortness (e.g., sleep apnea and gluten sensitivity), and which have interventions much less radical than genetic modification.

It seems clear-cut, and there are studies that link certain genes to height on a statistical level. But I suspect we're going to find that height has little to do with genetics in the traditional sense, and outside a few notable outliers, that there are no "short genes", just environments that fit specific genetic profiles that are or are not available to the people with those genes. Europeans are tallest in a generalized global monoculture where Western diets and lifestyles are the norm, and where European-descended populations have enjoyed a generally higher quality of life for several generations. Color me surprised.
At the end of the day it’s just a game. It exists for recreational value. As I see it a pro exists largely because 1) people enjoy watching these games played at the highest level 2) people think they can learn in some way from these people. I don’t see how AI interferes with either of these.

RPI's will handle Node surprisingly well, from my experience. A small cluster of them would be well suited to any number of web projects. A few years back, I played around with haproxy and a few Pi's running Node servers. You may be surprised how well they work as servers, as long as you're not expecting Xeon-level speeds.
Unfortunately I don't think Aaron has made any progress on coming up with an APL beginners book yet. I'd certainly be excited to buy a copy though. The only book I've read is the free one on Dyalog's website which is good, but doesn't really help me think in terms of arrays for everything.
A woman cooked a turkey in a microwave on the WGN Morning News this morning. The key was to baste it with soy sauce to simulate the browning you get from an oven.

When microwaves were new, enormous, and came with built-in probe thermometers, my father cooked a turkey in the microwave. I don't remember if it was good or not. But it seems like they were much more versatile in the early years. He used to cook all kinds of cakes and things in it, and very often put aluminum foil in it without fear of electrical arcs. Something about how it was arranged.

I don't use my microwave for anything more interesting than making popcorn and melting butter and peanut butter.
Yes, I have seen those, thank you. They are indeed absolutely wonderful. But I had something else in mind. I posted a couple of examples under an adjacent reply.

It always sounds better than FM to me. Probably because of a lack of static; It either worked or it didn’t.

I thought you were kidding though, so I looked it up, and Wikipedia[0] confirms it:

> Each two-carrier group broadcast 100 8-kilobit-per-second streams in approximately 4 MHz of radio spectrum. These streams were combined using a patented process to form a variable number of channels using a variety of bitrates. Bandwidth is separated into segments of 4-kilobit-per-second virtual "streams" which are combined to form audio and data "channels" of varying bitrates from 4 to 64 kilobits-per-second.

Wow. I thought they just used satellite internet and streamed from their servers.

Back in the 90s when I was at a small BBC spin-off writing 3D Atlas (published by EA) we'd periodically get orders from EA to mark Tibet or Taiwan as part of China, or attribute Kashmir to India or Pakistan or something, apparently required for a particular localized version.
It was a more innocent time, and we'd always tell them to fuck off.
The contract involved is public, so maybe the exact words used to summarize it isn't that important?

There was a lot of squabbling over the words used to summarize the Model S, X, and 3 waiting lists, too. I don't think anything good came out of the discussion.
