I don't particularly like speech codes, I don't like "communication frameworks" and I am enough of an arsehole (because I don't care if people like me, and ironically that is why a lot of people like me) to call it out. Obviously you can't go around being generally abusive, but this is another insidious thing that we really don't need in an office.

The trouble is that there's already a significant amount of precedent here holding that the Constitution doesn't treat this kind of information passing through intermediaries the same as letters through the mail. Congress had to pass the Stored Communications Act to provide any sort of halfway-reasonable protections for email stored on third-party servers, for example. And it can be pretty un-reasonable itself.

Encryption changes things substantially, at least for practical purposes, but the whole idea of EARN IT is to coerce services to disincentivize the kind of encryption that would matter.

The Court has made some baby steps in the direction of fixing the more "core" deficiencies of the 4th Amendment's protections given the realities of the modern world, but they're not showing any signs of rushing to go further.
Analogies obviously don't hold for many cases. But it's a good entry point to explain some basic concepts such as the Central Dogma. I am a biologist who has to teach molecular biology to computer scientists in our Bioinformatics department. It was the only way to bridge the gap. Once we got it we could start on the more detailed stuff.
The point is that the brain is a kind of controller, and evolution does in fact select for the controllers fitness. The theorem asserts that the maximally efficient controller is one which has an accurate model of the environment. That evolution hasn't produced a perfect controller isn't an argument against the point that evolution will select for brains with accurate models.

So you're correct: environmental physics which have never been survival-relevant will have no selection pressure.

But I think you are very incorrect to say that because our brain ignores the nose part of our eyesight that we have an inaccurate model. A model in process-control-speak means some kind of mathematical description, not the inputs to the controller.
Nice service, was just testing it out. I had one question/issue. Will the pings heal automatically if a device changes internet connections or wifi providers? I noticed I had to disable and re-enable the active toggle on an ipad after changing wifi networks (local wifi to phone/LTE). I didn't have to if simply disconnecting/reconnecting to the same wifi network.

Except in your examples nobody needed to stage something like a cruise ship stuffed with drugs, they just made their case and did whatever.

There is no need for staging anything, nobody would need a cruise ship full of drugs to think that drugs are coming out of Venezuela...

Staging an event with a cruise ship as an excuse when they could just do the thing anyway seems like an overly complicated conspiracy theory.

> How would you keep the baseline protections reasonable enough so every startup and tech department would be proud to support it?

It would take a few years of back and forth of negotiation. Of course not all organizations would have employees may necessarily be part of it.

Holywood is a 'closed shop' where you basically need to be in the union / guild, but that is not true in every industry.

I'm in Ontario, Canada where a lot of car OEMs have plants: the Detroit Three plants are all unionized AFAICT. However the Cambridge Toyota plant is not: the CAW has been asking the employees for a while, but they always said 'no'. Seems that Toyota has a different mindset towards their employees.

Similarly Air Canada has been unionized with pilots for a while, but WestJet (~Southwest) only recently unionized: turns out the pilots there were tired of crap.

So it may not be an all/nothing situation.

ghufran_syed's statements are a summarization of Navy Secretary Moldy's own official lines.

Moldy framed the seriousness of the ship's condition on the stated fact of the sailors young age and the fact that not a single sailor on that ship had yet been hospitalized. He also stated that the ship has unique operating requirements, such as a nuclear reactor and expensive aircraft.

The Navy has its own calculus for the values at stake.

The main advantage of jQuery these days is all the plugins it provides, most (if not all) things you need on a website exist in jQuery.

Also,

“ roughly 10 billion words said, per person (16,000 per day * 26,280 days = ~420,480,000)“

Not sure if I completely missed something but it looks like 420m words per person.

Edit: combine these two errors and it makes sense. The 10b number is in the text but not the arithmetic.

16000 words per day * 26000 days * 11 chars per word = 4.5E9 chars per person.

> Some do, some don't. I would say that they are slightly more inclined to break hunting laws than your normal rural resident. That is to say, both groups are pretty comfortable breaking the law when no rangers are around though the primitive community a) is only ever hunting for food and b) is much more interested in preserving herd health. They also very routinely eat roadkill or dumpster dive.

Wise words a former cell biology aware PhD said to me once: a cell is at a scale where van der Waals forces means 'water' isn't behaving like you think and the 'liquid' of a cell is possibly more like a matrix than a fluid.

I've always wished that Gmail (or some other email client) would add support for creating arbitrary "folders" each with an "inbox" and an "archive" section.

The Gmail inbox -> archive flow works really well, but I'd like to have multiple such inboxes for different mailing lists.

A prime example is pull request notification emails: I want them to skip my inbox and go into a "folder", but I want to keep track of which ones I still need to review so the archiving model would be great.

I could hack such a workflow together using multiple labels, but it wouldn't have the convenience of a universal "archive" keyboard shortcut / button.

Yet another reason why Burnout Paradise, which contained cars inspired by real-world cars but different just enough to not invite lawsuits, was one of the best games ever - the manner in which the cars got deformed from simple dents to complete destruction was a major feature of the game.

Basically, the variance in melanin is what causes different eye colors. So, if you have a gene that produces melanin, and then turn it's expression down, then you might get bluer eyes.

The complicated part is that a lot of genes actually control for eye color - that is where the complications come. Each gene interacts with every other gene in a unique way.
> What if the Chinese start making these for $1.50?

The Aeropress is very cheap. If you use an Aeropress 1 time per day for 4 years, the amortized cost of an Aeropress is 3 cents per cup of coffee. That’s only a small fraction of the price of the coffee beans, and also much cheaper than a decent electric coffee grinder.

Alternately, the Aeropress pays for itself if you use it daily for a week or two instead of going to a café.

Even if the Chinese knockoff were free, it wouldn’t save you any appreciable amount of money in the long term.

The design is extremely simple and robust, and the device does exactly what it is supposed to. I don’t see why we need competition to improve it.
I've been on long hikes through the woods where few people tread. One thing I've noticed, is the apparent scarcity of food: at least food that we recognize as "food". There's no animals to hunt for, no bird's nest, no wild animals, even after a 4 hour long hike. No berries, no blueberries or anything fancy like that.

What there is quite a bit of is edible greens: dandelions, oxylis, purslane, amaranth, lots of edible green plants and weeds. I can only imagine that our ancestors must of lived off greens.

Modern day studies of wild human tribes in africa that really do live the way people lived hundreds of thousands of years ago, actually mainly subsist on greens. They've been studied, and the researchers have noted that they basically graze on leafy green vegetables all days, lucky to find anything else.

As, the article alluded to, hunger was the norm, pretty much all day, everyday. This day and age, people think of hunger as an anomoly, a problem, something you can't experience for more than a few minutes without going crazy.

> Security is Capital-H Hard.

It is even harder when you try and graft the security on after the fact. Security needs to be a consideration from day 1, not once youve your minimal product. Proper security may steer architecture decisions that may be difficult or impossible which to adapt. This is especially true for internet facing services.

I had a hell of a time bolting on authentication/permission to an internal API (not web based) at a previous employer. By the time I left, we had all users authenticating, but only maybe 20% of the API surface had permissions beyond being authenticated. It was a CRUD API over +300 objects. Yeah, everything was audited, so we couls recover from a malicious or bumbling idiot authenticated user, but the exposure was way to high with people having far more access than their roles needed. It was a mess.

I hadn't checked compatibility and wasn't aware they no longer included SRP. It's not the best PAKE, but to my knowledge, not cryptographically broken (Apple uses it for a bunch of stuff, IIRC). Thanks for letting me know.

And you're right, that's pretty dopey with the password manager. I understand the point of password security measures, but just do something like pam cracklib. There's no such thing as an idiot-proof library. Honestly, that looks like the developer was being kind of lazy, using a constant size for things like max password length.

My only point here is that there are libraries that are well-tested, secure, and at least as idiot-proof as openssl. The increased ability to do the protocol wrong with something like libsodium is balanced by the increased ability to do the crypto wrong with something like openssl.
I really feel like React and components in general, or almost any framework is probably overkill for most basic websites and even apps can make things harder to reason about than previous architecture styles. Especially so if there is a tendency to decouple at a very granular level.

Or more simply than that, if you only ever look at "cold" and "hot" rooms (e.g. analysis of cancerous and non-cancerous patients) you're never going to see the dynamics at all.

But more fundamentally, I believe there is a theorem which asserts that it is in general impossible to extract the open loop behavior of a system (i.e. a model of how the system would respond without a controller) solely from closed loop data (i.e. data collected from the system when the controller is on.)

A gene is like a DLL. Asking how it works would require a lot of know-how that’s specific to the usage.

When talking about how DNA is an instruction for making a protein, that protein is your data structure or a function. The next level of fundamental building block. Genes can contain a lot of information or non-information for proteins. Just like a program might have a lot of functions or data. The way they work together and interact is what creates a larger effect.

I think maybe the best starting point for understanding biology is learning about enzymes up close. They are proteins that act as “machines”. It gets down to physics and chemistry to determine how they work, so that’s probably when to drop the analogies.
What I believe you're referring to:

I read this as a new request for support for the "war free" plan outlined in the letter. Are you suggesting that he had already proposed this or another plan, but it was rejected or not completely fulfilled? If so, do you have a reference for this?

It would be useful if you could make it more clear what is your personal opinion/speculation vs publicly known. I'm trying to understand what happened.

> That by definition means the current support is insufficient.

In this context, that doesn't necesarily have to be true.
Wow that's insane. It never would have even occurred to me to use Photopea for editing PDF's.

But it does indeed import each element of the PDF as a separate layer, and you have PDF export with options to leave text as-is, rasterize text, or vectorize it.

Two questions:

1) Does it set the resolution of the Photopea file, and the default resolution to re-export the PDF, to trying to detect the original resolution of images in the PDF? So that by importing and exporting, you're going to have a PDF of approximately the same quality and filesize?

2) Are you able to handle embedded fonts, including subsetted fonts? I assume that in that case you would vectorize it and wouldn't be able to type new characters... just want to know if I'm wrong in assuming that?

Thanks again a million times over for Photopea. It remains my absolute #1 inspiration of what one developer on their own can do. Never ceases to amaze. :)

The problem with including codons in such a high level analogy of DNA is their context sensitive. DNA doesn’t care about those details and can be sliced an diced to completely change how it’s interpreted.

That's only a concern if you're want to store some measure of identity and/or meaning; the author just wants to store words. In any case, you could improve things by putting words into a screenplay-like format, which implies relatively small amount of additional text. (I would estimate a typical screenplay or play script is 90% dialogue).
I'd highly recommend the YouTube channel "Journey to the Microcosmos" for videos that do a great job of improving that intuition.
