I'm afraid I have no tip to offer, but I can empathise because we've run into the same problem and we too are still looking for a good solution.

I think tables just don't sit well in HTML. We are trying to force a 2D structure where useful operations might be based on either dimension into a flattened hierarchical structure where one dimension must take priority, and that is awkward. The attempt to work around this by introducing colgroup and col elements never really went anywhere either.

So for now, we resort to tricks like artificial DOM structures and pretend margins/padding and manual positioning, the same kind of hackery that we used to use for page layouts until tools like flexbox and grid were introduced. What we really need, IMHO, is a similarly comprehensive set of dedicated table selectors and styling options in CSS. There have been proposals like the nth-col pseudo-class and the || column combinator, which look like useful ideas, but again these haven't really gone anywhere so far. There might be some value in allowing tables to be styled as row-major or column-major (a similar idea to flex-direction) and then basing other styling around the major and minor axes rather than relying on rows/children and columns specifically.

In a profound sense, science is the application of formal systems to the natural world. Within those systems "truth" absolutely does intend to mean "truth".

> the theorem "the previous axioms are inconsistent with each other" is also a valid axiom to add and results in a system of axioms that is consistent overall!

Ehh, that's just another paradox. I don't think those are allowed in an overall-consistent system.
In C that compiler is allowed to stack probe. The compilers just make you opt into it with -fstack-check and the like to make sure they didn't break some of your terribly written code.

'press i and then basically everything works as you'd expect' is pretty simple; it's got a significantly-smaller barrier to entry than Emacs, and breaks fewer core-assumptions. Is that agreeable to you?

It's not. Maybe we're talking about completely different things because I'm not following this at all, just like the other responder downthread. For decades, GUI text entry has been modeless. Larry Tessler one of the GUI's pioneers and prophets (PBUH) had a 'NO MODES' license plate and the idea remains a central theme in UI design. Vi doesn't do that. It does this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)#Modes

I don't mean to debate the merits of this design but in terms of 'breaking core assumptions, vi 'breaks the core assumption' of typing text into a computer. It's not, per Winnfield, the same ball park, same league or even the same sport.

Again, I see what you're saying. However, isn't it bad form because it may alter the meaning and hence, mislead? Then why would the converse - leaving it alone and hence, mislead - also not be bad form?

The link and (HN) title are presented to the HN readership, if it is followed then the article's own title will be presented in the correct context.

Regardless, this is a minor point and I'll quibble no further.
So I do not think that this is a black/white situation.

I do agree, that any auto ml tool, cannot know what is the correct data sources for a specific use case, nor does it know the business case value of a specific model.

Auto ML should not replace humans, but work with them. I.e. it is a tool.

This tool can do the following:

1. Auto visualization.

2 Auto feature engineering.

3. Auto backtesting.

4. Auto training (with cost optimization).

5. Hyperparameter optimization.

6. Auto model packaging.

7. Autoload testing and auto security testing.

7. Auto deploy / scale / SLA.

8. Auto monitor.

The goal of AutoML is to save time and reduce risk. I am not sure why you want to do all of the above manually.
Carbon dioxide pollution dulls the brain
this was not meant to create some mystery around the included s-box, though I get that it does do that.

the funny thing is the very fears that are being promoted about this are in a way, sort of exactly the weaknesses that this parameterisible family of hash function was designed to secure against.

I mean people are afraid that there's somehow malevolent design floor but that could be true in any hash function with this you can use the structure to create your own hash function but bringing your nest box which to me at least greatly reduces the idear that there's some sort of exploit that could be persisting.

anyway, that unintended mystery is not bad at all in I'm my opinion. it's fun to watch people suspect byes I got from random.

it's also flattering because I think the skill required to create some sort of crazy exploitable sbox is way above me and way above the level of skill required to create a very good hash function.

people thinking that was my plan, hear this, it does not sound like a very smart plan to spend all that effort creating one amazing exploitable sbox that looks random but then at the same time say and even encourage people to use their own sbox.

I don't feel the suspicion of the sbox being bad actually requires any defense of it, because it seems just ridiculous to me, but I do think it's interesting to point out, like, that sort of a plan suspected doesn't really make sense.

I'm not saying the people who have such suspicions are ridiculous at all. they just haven't thought it through, I think and I understand the instinct to paranoia especially directed at works in this space. I think it's a fairly appropriate instinct. you just need to think things through.

the point was by using an s-box, you can bring your own s-box, to allay (or I guess create) such fears about exploitable designs, and create your own hash function.

some thoughts about how to do that I invite in the readme. I'm not prescribing rules. pick your own, pick whatever you like. The point is you can make your own hash function that will probably be a good hash function. I definitely think you should test it with smasher, or whatever, to make sure it doesn't have any kind of flaws. I'm fairly convinced, after testing a few random boxes, you'll be highly likely to make your own good hashes with this.

These people are probably wealthy enough not to care but if I were buying a $5000 purse I'd want to do it in person, like I'd test drive a car before I bought it.

Pension funds will be getting beat up by a lot of these.

For instance, 24 hour fitness is on the verge of failing, and it's owned by a pension fund in Canada.

"24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc. announced that AEA Investors, a leader in the private equity industry; Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Canada's largest single-profession pension plan – and one of the world’s largest; and Fitness Capital Partners, a fund organized by Dean Bradley Osborne and Global Leisure Partners have completed their acquisition of the Company from Forstmann Little & Co."

Needing organized codebases is a personality type as there is zero academic research I’m aware of that has ever shown strict organization has resulted in less bugs or faster development.

Well, they are pitching this as bringing secure stuff to the masses. So it's arguably not all that inconsistent with what Chris etc have been saying about Keybase.
That's interesting, I'm making something similar (https://getartemis.app). A lot of calendars don't seem to solve the issues of using tasks as events, as one does with time blocking. Then, tasks can't be easily moved around, duplicated, and so on, they're rigid on the calendar. It annoyed me so much that I wanted to make something myself.

Hmm, mainly water and soil tbh. We're not exactly flush with mineral deposits - a few gold mines here and there, but most of our coal deposits are low quality lignite, and our current government has already signalled where we're heading by banning new offshore oil/gas permits.

That said, we have a strong software development scene, and I'd like to see that grow more.
> What does renormalization actually represent? Why does nature do that?

We don't know whether nature "does that"; renormalization is a feature of our models of nature, but not all features of our models of nature are features of nature itself. That's true of any model.

> I would argue that Newtonian Dynamics is in fact a failed paradigm

You can argue that by defining "failed paradigm" in your preferred way, but you cannot argue that it is a failed paradigm in the sense that Aristotelian physics is a failed paradigm. So by using the term "failed paradigm" to describe both, you are ignoring a very important difference between the two.

Similar remarks would apply to the Standard Model in the scenario where one of our candidates for a more fundamental theory has been confirmed and the SM is now just an approximation to that theory in an appropriate regime.
Compiling gcc is actually not so bad (and sometimes necessary if you want to e.g. use drd to debug openmp, so you can make libgomp use pthreads primitives that drd knows how to do deal with).

See document FCC-20-48 [1] for full text. Some quotes:

"Our decision authorizes Ligado to deploy a low-power terrestrial nationwide network in the 1526-1536 MHz, 1627.5-1637.5 MHz, and 1646.5-1656.5 MHz band (...)"

"Our action provides regulatory certainty to Ligado, ensures adjacent band operations, including Global Positioning System (GPS), are sufficiently protected from harmful interference (...)"

"Ligado's amended license modification applications significantly reduce the power levels of its operations from its earlier proposals and commit Ligado to providing a significant guard-band in the MSS spectrum to further separate its terrestrial transmissions from neighboring operations in the Radionavigation-Satellite Service (RNSS) allocation. Based on the extensive record, we conclude that Ligado's latest proposal—combined with the stringent conditions we adopt today—addresses harmful interference concerns with respect to GPS operating in the adjacent RNSS allocation, as well as concerns with respect to MSS licensees' operations in the L-band."

Interestingly over here in Australia, those who went with Amazon AU left for different reasons; mainly that the platform just doesn't attract much sales volume and the costs were astronomical. Even eBay does better here.

At the company I work for, we operate a fulfillment center for eCommerce sellers and we've been booming lately from businesses choosing to leave the closed ecosystems and marketplaces like Amazon and run their own Shopify, WooCommerce and others while still having a third party handle their fulfillment needs.

So, I just Googled my phone number, and the phone numbers of several friends.

In each case I got dozens of the same flavour of site, which I've seen many times before, it has a paginated list of every possible phone number that could exist, and an advertisement. These sites are pretty cheap to build and presumably over their lifetime they bring in enough advertising revenue to justify renewal costs, hosting and so on.

But they don't offer (and couldn't deliver) personal information about any of us, since that isn't publicly available.

I guess your reasoning makes sense, but obviously there are counter arguments:

> We've made sense of much more complicated mutually conflicting standards problems before... we just declare stuff to not work anymore... like marquee tag... and if it does not make sense sometime, we put in feature flags, or `use jsx` language pragma? maybe `use jsx 1.0`, `use jsx 2.0` ?

> management is right to ask for estimates

Why? They are always wrong. Asking for a plan? Sure, because planning makes you think through things. Planning good, plans bad, to paraphrase. But estimates are always wrong and always useless, dev with 30+ years experience and I've never met anyone that can actually estimate software except in the trivial sense.

The error bar on software estimates, like solving a math problem (because they are the same thing! If you don't think so, you don't understand software), is infinite.

Just because something is old doesn't make it not user hostile. If anything it encourages it as we are always getting better at making better interfaces.

Cars from the 70's don't have airbags. So, by comparison to what is available today, they are user hostile.
I think you're underestimating the scale and scope of (US) federal funding.

During FY2019, the federal government awarded 9,989 grants, 181,947 contracts, and made 99,148 direct payments to people and organizations in Georgia. This includes $630M from the NIH, at least a billion dollars from the Department of Education, and about three billion more from the USDA. Some of this might happen anyway--the DoD is not going to stop buying stuff from Lockheed any time soon--but a lot of this could be cut off if a state decided to go its own way.

Meanwhile, in Canada, one province has decided to pick its own official language, rolled its own tax scheme, and spent five years trying to opt every law out of federal court via the "notwithstanding" clause (and then used it twice more anyway).

Grant numbers from:

Unions aren't an alternative to corporations. They're a balance for it.

I think it's pretty common, as a developer, to be told, effectively, "Get back in the corner and do what you were hired to do -- not think -- just code -- leave the grown-up things to the grown-ups."

This is just an extension of Taylorism -- early assembly-line thinking -- where each human becomes like a very simple machine -- and therefore stupid, dull-minded, unquestioning.

That said, I think you are conflating several different issues here.

But just sticking to your first question in the title -- no, you do not need to be worried.

Unless you decide you want to be more than a coder/developer. In that case, start looking for a new job.
"Quite successful" is perhaps an exaggeration. Most of the projects using XULRunner were directly related to the Mozilla project (forks of Mozilla Navigator and Composer, Thunderbird, Chatzilla, etc). There are very few projects which independently chose to use XULRunner.

There's a great CNBC show called "The Profit" which really makes it easy for a layman to understand how private equity works. On the show, it's interesting to see how the investor who is putting up his money is often uninterested in investing in a company that's growing quickly and making good profit margins.

I can only speculate on what the investor's true motivations is. But there was one episode in particular which was interesting:

1) The investor came in, offered up a few hundred thousand dollars for a 51% stake

2) He immediately had the company upgrade their equipment, purchasing new equipment

3) Eighteen months later, the company was bankrupt

When all the dust settled, the company was re-packaged and sold to another company, the original owners were gone, and the manufacturing was sent overseas.

When the investor was having them buy a bunch of equipment, I was definitely wonder if his prime motivation was to simply have some tangible assets that he could recover once the inevitable bankruptcy occurred.
I guess obscurity in my case would buy me time if anything before vulnerabilities are found if anyone tries. I just think if your code is fully open, then anyone can be like "Oh he's not aware of this" and then boom... but if it wasn't open, the threat is still there, guess who knows when it will be found. I was looking at auditing too/maybe some kind of pen testing. I have some time still but yeah.
I think people are confusing things a bit here. Sure, you can protect your pgp key with a password, but I don't think that adds a whole lot of security to your uploaded private keys. When you upload a pgp key to keybase, it encrypts the key again, using your keybase device key. So its double encrypted, basically.

The keybase model revolves around devices. Device keys are private keys that are tied to a particular device (your phone, pc, etc) and never leave that device (unless it gets compromised somehow). The only way you can decrypt your data on another device is by registering it using another authenticated device. These keys don't have passwords.

Its basically like encrypting a pgp key with another pgp key, and uploading it somewhere, like people upload all manner of secrets to github or s3 or whatever.

Keybase just provides an easier flow to register new devices and to import and decrypt your secrets (like via a QR code scanned by your phone, for example). Your private keys are as secure as any private, encrypted piece of data that you might send out over the wire, so long as your devices are secure, that is.

If one or more of your devices gets owned, all bets are off, AFAIK. Even if you set a passphrase on your pgp key, all it takes is a key-logger to get it. And since your device is already compromised...

This is where hardware keys win out (yubikey, etc), that require a physical touch to unlock.
