DNS Certification Authority Authorization assumes trust of the DNS server. Doesn't work if the DNS server itself is compromised / malicious. (Maybe with DNSSEC, but DNSSEC has its own problems and definitely doesn't work when your TLD itself is compromised.)

CT is really the only thing that works in this scenario (attackers/third party gaining write access to DNS records), but not every CA has CT and not everyone has the means to monitor CT logs. CT isn't even required for every browser/certificate (only EV certs (dead) for Chrome, and you need HPKP (dead) or Expect-CT (no browser support) for this to work reliably). Plus, what are you supposed to do when you find out there's a bad cert for your domain out there? Yell at someone on Twitter? It's going to be hard to convince a CA that you're not doing business with that someone with write access to DNS does not own the domain. Attackers are already impersonating you while it takes hours to sort things out.

... all of this is not to say that these security measures are bad, just not enough. We really put more trust on DNS servers than we ought to.
From the article, "Public measures designed to incentivize development of new antibiotics are woefully inadequate."

This is the issue. Relying on private entities to provide (R&D, clinical trials) for what are ostensibly public goods (antibiotic resistant bugs puts every person at risk) brings the real risk of market failure.

The NIH is making some progress on this front.

https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/258516/ProgressYears1a...

It appears that overprescribing existing antibiotics to people and livestock is a leading cause of rising drug resistance, both of which can be addressed by policy changes.
The improvements in the report are mainly from improvements in cloud infrastructure, but that's not to say there haven't been improvements in developing small, efficient models as well. One notable model that was introduced in 2017 was MobileNet, which aimed to create a model that could function on a mobile device without much loss in accuracy. There have been many more attempts to shrink models for use on devices with limited resources since 2017. These smaller models tend to have lower training times as well.

> The measure adopted by the Nebraska Farm Bureau laid out specific standards for any agreement or legislation:

> Right to Repair: Nebraska Farm Bureau supports the implementation of comprehensive right to repair legislation OR a negotiated written agreement between ag producers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This legislation or agreement must:

....

> 4. Differentiate between repair (the restoration of hardware to its original intended function) and illegal “modding,” (modification of original hardware to bypass environmental controls).

To be pedantic, there are mods that are neither restoring originally intended functionality nor illegally bypassing environmental controls. I think that the ability to add functionality that the original manufacturer never intended is an important right that the owners of the equipment should have.
Driving through rural Texas I've even seen a Tata dealership.
I wonder if this will effect van life. In some cities sleeping in your car is illegal even if in a valid parking spot minding your own business. Some places even illegal to take a break and sit on the ground. I think living in a van would be cramped, but maybe a RV would be nice but watched some of the van life channels and think it's insane sleeping in your van is a crime. I think some cops want to ID people who live different lifestyles because maybe they assume you are a criminal on the run for living in a van. But still insane you could go to jail or get your car impounded for sleeping in a parking spot... In some places sleeping on a bench too, putting people in Jail over sleeping which is a needed human function.

Then many states won't let you have a license if you are homeless, unless you get help from a shelter and also try to make it harder to vote too. So you have to pretend you live with a relative or go to Texas or South Dakota to setup a mail forwarder and declare domicile since they recognize full time RVing. Plus heard some shelters won't help you if you still own a car, got to sell it first to receive services.

I have heard though South Dakota only lets you vote for federal and state elections though, not local(city and county) but not sure how true that is... For example one of the counties doesn't have a "Wheel Tax", which would effect people registered there if ever passed, so RVers would vote no of course on it. Yet they say you can still be called for Jury Duty as mentioned on the affidavit, but heard the popular county for mail forwarders exempt those addresses, so you won't get picked in the first place but even if you do just call and tell them you are traveling full time to be exempted... But kinda interesting you are like a resident but not really a resident. I guess no states really considered people could retire and RV full time or younger people could live in a van and work remotely online.

I guess kinda the same with college though... If you lived in California but your parents retired early and moved to Florida or Nevada, yet you wanted to stay in California to go to school with your high school friends then California would consider you a resident for DMV, taxes but no longer a resident for tuition since they go by your parents domicile until a certain age, yet until after a full year or two FL or NV wouldn't consider you a resident for school either, so I guess you could technically not be a resident of any state for tuition proposes.

Please don't post religious flamebait to HN. We end up with religious flamewars, which we definitely don't want here.

Edit: I'm referring to this bit: "As an aside, I really dislike that so many of the US domestic charities are religiously driven". The bulk of your comment was interesting and fine. Unfortunately, flamebait dominates discussion regardless of intent, so your subtle point was lost.

Hmm, I'm surprised I've never come across this. I went through a phase where I was looking at tax sale properties, and actually found a number of them that were unincorporated. I didn't really look into those, but now I wish I did for the learning experience at least.
> all parts are original

John Deere bought out the only company that was really producing aftermarket parts a couple of years ago, so that's a non-issue for them.

As an aside, I had the JD tech out to work on my combine a while back. I watched him have to decrypt the service manual on his computer before he could use it. I was somewhat amazed at the lengths they go to to protect their information.

Almost. Once he unlocked it, he handed his computer to me and let me poke around freely. Hard to put a complete stop to social engineering.
CONCLUSION: Early administration of high-dose enteral vitamin D3 did not provide an advantage over placebo with respect to 90-day mortality or other, nonfatal outcomes among critically ill, vitamin D–deficient patients.
Interesting. This seems counter-intuitive for someone who spoke many languages and apparently delighted in their diversity. I also agree with the comment above yours that wanting humanity to "be one" and to be able to communicate universally, is not mutually exclusive with them maintaining their separate languages concurrently. Do you have any suggested sources for me to read about Zamenhof's later views?
Makes sense. Now I understand why UPS is delivering so late in my area, including having guys hanging out of UHaul trucks.

FedEx ground is a dumpster fire, unless they are doing the smartpost thing where USPS delivers. In my area, they are almost as bad as Laser.
It really depends on the person.

When I lived in Japan, I had access to very high end whisky and sake that was not available in the US. When I visited the US, I wanted to share some of this with my friends and family.

One good bottle of sake is 1.75 liters. One good bottle of whiskey is 0.75 liters. It doesn’t take many bottles to surpass the limit, and the items were definitely unique enough to warrant bringing.

If you start talking about things like Christmas presents, it starts getting nuts. All of your friends want you to being them the good stuff that they don’t have allocations for in the US.

> I suppose you could argue that religion is harmful.. but even as an atheist, that’s a stretch for me to agree with.

How is that a stretch for you? Have you ever heard of conversion therapy. Do you know how that came to be and similar to slavery. I know a lot of LGBT+ friends that had religious parents throw them on the streets because of God wouldn't make them not be normal.

Controversial items can sometimes fall due to the anti-flamewar code. If it thinks the article is generating a flamewar in the comments it will get sunk.
What you describe could well be the explanation, but it's not the same mechanism that Alexander is suggesting.

You're suggesting the therapy has a dose-response, and as perception of the therapy changes, patients are motivated less and so they get smaller doses.

What Alexander is suggesting there is that for a given level of work that a patient put in (i.e. for a constant dose), the placebo effect has been reducing due to a "miracle effect" halo that is fading over time.

I.e. he is explicitly talking about just the placebo effect here.

1) This is from 2016.

2) Mercedes will face huge, possibly ruinous lawsuits from the families of anyone killed by a self-driving Mercedes. And investigations from legislators.

In the example they give, the Mercedes would choose to kill multiple innocent bystanders to save one occupant in the vehicle...even though it is a mechanical failure of the vehicle that put anyone at risk in the first place.

Technologists have this absurd view of the future where they think that "computers" or "AI" are magical fantasy words that makes real-world consequences go away. But if that horrific event were actually to come to pass, the programmers of the vehicle would likely be tried for manslaughter, and I'd give at worst even odds on a conviction. I'd also put money down on the NHTSA banning self-driving Mercedes (and possibly even all self-driving vehicles) until their programming is corrected and audited. And on vigilantes everywhere vandalizing every Mercedes they see.
I don't think that's a charitable way of interpreting the comment.

Mormons as a rule are very generous with the church, and often with church affiliated charities. If the deduction for charitable giving was removed, the Mormon church would do fine, and likely so would many of their charitable activities, and it would seem more like separation of church and state to me.

If the charitable giving deduction were removed, I guess I agree that at that point there wouldn't be a way to argue (from a constitutional perspective) against Mormons in Utah voting for low levels of government support.

As it happens, I'm not convinced the "all charity should be provided by religious institutions in Utah" narrative for Utah voters is actually accurate; Salt Lake City at least is fairly generous with the homeless, at a government level.
Thanks for the tip and for telling me about function trains.

Also great work on Dyalog, which I had a personal license to back when I experimented a couple of years ago. I can't recall what my problem with GNU APL was but I quickly found it too painful to try and learn with.
Best way to predict the future, is to make it happen.

The Toms Hardware article isn't really that much better though. If you want the original post, it was Shaun Fosmark who posted news of the world record on his Twitter first. https://twitter.com/ShaunFosmark/status/1205886345576505346?...

Main take-away for me:

> The Ryzen 9 3900X was able to match the Core i9-7920X's score while running with a 5.8% lower operating clock. This stands as testimony that Zen 2's instructions per cycle (IPC) is higher than Skylake
I get the eastern religions that reference karma but the part I'm interested in is from "it's not a stretch that Earth is a hell for those people, and we're supposed to be the demons that make life miserable for them" and because I haven't seen that expressed before. It would be nice to know the specific names that share that ideology of others being demons for some that are destined to experience a bad life this time around.
Taking the tangent further, you write "one of my pet peeves with today's programmers".

As someone who started programming in the 1980s, I've observed both sides of the issue. When I started, the earlier generation complained that 'today's programmers' didn't know anything about the hardware, like being able to re-write the computer to add new hardware capabilities, or to debug the machine by attaching probes to the bus. And they were right ... and mostly irrelevant, as the hardware complexity and reliability increased. Eg, it's much harder to hand solder surface mount than discrete components.

On the other hand, I've had to re-learn programming for modern hardware. I remember when I implemented a string upper-case function like:

while (*s) {
*s = toupper(*s);
s++;
}

only to find that

while (*s) {
if (islower(*s)) {
*s = toupper(*s);
}
s++;
}

was faster for my use case. Someone had to explain to me the difference between read and write performance - on the machines I learned on, they were both one cycle.

Similarly, I've had to learn (poorly, in an ad hoc fashion) about instruction pipelining and prefetching.

I've therefore concluded that talking about problems with "today's programmers" is more like voicing the age-old complain about "kids these days" then expressing something more fundamental.

Regarding APL, I like the comment at https://prog21.dadgum.com/122.html - "I encourage learning J, if only to make every other language seem easy."

Regarding Forth, see http://yosefk.com/blog/my-history-with-forth-stack-machines.... and commentary at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1680149 .
No, that’s a different list. What every decent programmer should know.

Imho if you design a new language it should use a simple and widely compatible script.

Why try to constrain creativity by requiring that new things obey old ways? New things should be different, or allowed to be different, or what's the point in them at all?

They could've used combinations of two letters rather than diacritics if they needed this for diverse sound

"They" (Zamenhof, the original creator) did that, it exists. Twice over, as the h-system he proposed in 1888 in the first year or two of Esperanto, and as the x-system: https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-sistemo and the https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-sistemo

The h-system doesn't stand out and risks clashing with valid uses, and makes weird combinations like Hh, but it is the "official" one; the x-system stands out and doesn't clash, so can be automatically converted by computer, but looks awful.
Go to Google Scholar, type your favorite company and "deep learning". If you find no paper from that company, chances are high their stock price is not beating S&P 500 over the last 5 years.

Also, top S&P 500 companies by market cap are "AAPL","MSFT","GOOG","AMZN","FB","BABA".
Hammerspoon is free, but you have to write your automation scripts in Lua. If your comfortable with Lua this might be totally fine and give you a lot of flexibility.

Keyboard Maestro on the other side is commercial software with a nice UI editor were you can compose automation scripts by simply dragging and dropping actions.
Personally I use Keyboard Maestro and find it absolutely worth its money. Even without any programming experience you can create powerfull scripts within minutes. I use it as clipboard manager, snippet manager, text expansion and much more.
I absolutely love how this game follows the improv "yes and" rules.

Unfortunately, while Privacy Pass on paper may be privacy protecting (though there is very little research into the topic due to it's relative lack of use), just by installing and using it with Tor you have reduced your effective privacy (because it's not installed in the Tor Browser by default).

And the Tor folks aren't willing to include it by default for a variety of reasons (disagreeing with CloudFlare restricting visitor's ability to read pages in the first place, lack of conclusive research into how it will impact the fingerprinting of Tor users, and just general bad blood between the Tor and CloudFlare folks).

Obviously, folks can do whatever they want but I wouldn't recommend using Privacy Pass over Tor for the above reasons.
This is so strange.

- FedEx is slated to report its latest quarterly results on Tuesday (17 December 2019). http://investors.fedex.com/news-and-events/upcoming-events/d...

- FedEx ended two big contracts with Amazon earlier this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/06/amazon-blames-holiday-delive...

Edit: I see many unhappy comments regarding FedEx here. In the UK we have Parcelfarce, which has achieved meme status.
I heard both Nashville, TN and Key West, FL does this too. Homeless people aren't good for tourism, so have to hide it from view. There's a little mini documentary on YouTube I seen before discussing this. Then if you accept the bus ticket, and end up coming back you are on some blacklist to not be able to receive any more services.
We always got Chinese food.
I actually don't believe this. The idea that the army of webdevs that find employment for the first time were recruited out of school strikes me as silly. In addition, your response directly contradicts the other responses, so someone is definitely exactly wrong. This answer sounds less plausible than the others.
I used \LaTeX before switching to Texmacs completely. It is the best WYSIWYG editor I have ever used. Beside the ability to see the result instantly, I really like the memorizable shortcut combinations (just fancy ligatures basically; sometimes you can just drop to LaTex) and the ability to interact with other programs with no setup at all.
Can't fault him. It is his right to release his software his way. Shame on the companies that failed to support him. I hope he squoze the freeloading ones good and hard, after.
Much like the early Eliza programs, the onus is on you to provide the context and have the story make sense in your head.

Unlike the Eliza programs, this one has taught itself what to say by mining a deep corpus of text, so creates a richer world, and seems to have some sense of memory (correct me if I'm wrong).
Once again, I would point out that most of these creator friendly policies and programs are quite new. Angry Joe has a video that covers when they were put in place, and most of those occurred in the last year, after a decade of creator-hostile policies.

> you are eligible for a 7 day courtesy

Seven whole days until your channel is closed forever. How generous. See: Vacation, holidays, natural disasters (or PG&E disasters)

Also, why doesn't the copyright claimants also only have a maximum of 7 days to respond? We're talking about Content ID claims here, as a reminder, not DMCA.

> resolved through a retraction, or we forward your counter notifications and they are ultimately successful

Which can take upwards of 30 days per step in the process, no matter how quickly the creator moves. So, your channel is in hiatus for more 30 days. This is an eternity in a business which relies on consistent and frequent content output to remain soluble.

> there's actual legal action then the creator will be in trouble

Which was not the case in either of the situations I posted. The actions only involved YouTube.

> I stand by my claim above that legal action in obvious fair use cases is "astonishingly rare".

Does that really matter, if Content ID claims alone have devastated the channel's viewerbase?

Jim Sterling from the article has many a horror story of spending between 6 months and 2 years fighting copyright claims and associated from corporations and CEO's. So does sidalpha and Angry Joe. Can we really claim in good faith that they're lying by pointing at Google FAQs?
