Time sure seems to be running much faster than when I was a teenager fifty years ago.

But I tried counting out to 60 with Google stopwatch running at my side. I was a bit astounded to find counting to 60 took me 75 seconds. So count me as skeptical about this story.

Interestingly, this is where the proof-of-work idea for Bitcoin likely came from (hashcash). Basically prove you've done X amount of CPU work in order to send me an e-mail.
Article doesn't give a citation, just says "psychologists have shown".

Also, wouldn't counting the minute faster be the opposite of what you'd predict for someone who was experiencing time as if it was passing faster? Shouldn't they instead be counting in slow motion, as life whizzes by at normal speed? Or are we instead saying that they've noticed the difference and are somehow overcompensating?
Was the book intended for people who didn't know how to program but were for some reason interviewing a programmer?
Right, but that goes back to the original point, which I am in agreement with: it is usually tough to pinpoint a single, specific person who was responsible for a discovery or invention. And as you noted, it can also depend on how you frame the discovery and its impact.
Yes, but that would be OK if the login form truncated the password in the same way as the password change form. They'd both arrive at the same hash. Which is what the comment above you said. What you describe probably means the password change form actually did run the hash on the full length, while the login form truncated it.

The mere act of straying outside the norm is what makes you vulnerable. Protecting the data itself is secondary to making the data seem uninteresting to begin with.

This is a good general point, but this sort of thing is probably not an issue for the types of indicators he's using, and the simple regression models he's using. The model is not sufficiently complex to learn regime patterns, which is the problem you're alluding to. This would be an issue if he was using a neural net, though.

I agree with your broader point that this analysis is bad, though. Another criticism is that he's predicting class labels, but not accounting for magnitude. It is possible to be able to predict the direction of the market tomorrow, with say, 60% accuracy, and still not be able to make money. If you can predict up/down with 60% accuracy, and on average when you're right you make 1%, and when you're wrong you lose 10%, you still have a bad strategy.

> When responding to an email that has multiple questions, indicate which question is being responded to.

I had a boss who would respond with "yes" or "that's fine" to an email with several questions. I guess he thought he was being concise, like famous CEOs. It was frustrating.

Now even in personal emails I try to do max 1 question per email, and if it's more than a couple sentences I repeat the question as the last line of the email.
ANSI adopted function prototypes from C++ in C89. Originally C had no type checking on function parameters. All arguments were promoted to word width and pushed to the stack. If you gave a function fewer arguments it would just read garbage off the end of the stack. If you gave it excess arguments they were silently ignored.
I don't see how using a huge number of different knives instead of reusing the same one every episode is "the easy way to do it".
Sure, but childcare being closed and the requirement to work from home are being caused by the same thing this time. Childcare being closed in regular times is a rare occurrence; while it's annoying, people manage to work around it. Yes, that can be stressful, but it's just for one day out of however many. Right now it's every day.

If childcare was running at normal capacity but parents were still working from home, they'd be a lot more productive and less stressed out.

Maybe I wasn't clear, to protect your privacy you cannot have "normal" traffic. There are some browser plugs, I think chrome banned them, but you can still build them and install them yourself that will constantly make random searches in the background and click every advertising link on a page. If you have "normal" traffic, something like that may help.

There is no free lunch in this problem. You have to consistently protect yourself and your household network to avoid tracking. Also you will probably never be able to stop it fully. Understanding the ecosystem and how tracking works will help a lot and understanding your individual tolerance for tracking is crucial. I personally think it's hygienic to test out anti-tracking measures and I go for sprints with all of them running but also I use the internet like a nearly normal user a lot of the time.

If you want to take steps to learn more a good place to start is using an old computer or raspberry pi and try out some network level filtering like PiHole, having separate networks for IoT devices/mobile devices/home users/guests and doing routing to a VPN you set up yourself via a cloud host selectively for traffic, times of day, and device.

Earlier this year my heart rate dropped down to about 35bpm before I ended up in the hospital. Watching seconds tick by on the clock went by very quickly. On the other hand, I was fortunate to have access to but unfortunate to experience a cardiac MRI, which synchronizes the scan to your heart beat. I had to hold a breath for 30+ seconds at a time, which felt like an eternity considering my rate went down to 21bpm at the time.

I need to point out that he was burned at the stake for advocating cosmic pluralism.

> Remote work is hurting facebook's advertising revenue because small business are dying off.

Do you actually know the breakdown of Facebook's advertising revenue by company type? I would expect that small business is not their bread and butter, and with the current status of everything in the world, other businesses would pick up the slack. And FB's usage stats are probably through the roof with people unable to socialize in person.

I think it's a bit weird to assume that FB would be attempting to promote "hit pieces" on remote work. In fact, I bet FB itself stands to save a lot of money by closing down or reducing in size many of its offices and transitioning a lot of its employees to permanent or semi-permanent remote work even after the pandemic has passed.

I feel like you've let your imagination get away from you here.
I just downloaded a free sample of the Kindle edition. Here's an excerpt from the preface:

"Prior to publication of the first edition, the manuscript was reviewed by a professional C programmer hired by the publisher. This individual expressed a firm opinion that the book should not be published because “it offers nothing new -- nothing the C programmer cannot obtain from the documentation provided with C compilers by the software companies.”"

The author's claim is that there was a pressing need for a book that just explains C pointers rather than covering the whole language. (It would be interesting to see the rest of what the reviewer wrote.)
Encrypt everything. We know they keep copies of encrypted data for a long time hoping for the day that breaking the encryption becomes easy for reading later. In the meantime, flood everything with mundane data, but encrypted. Make it expensive for them to keep it all, and the an absolute waste of time when they do get it decrypted.
In mathematics, by a widely used convention, a clockwise rotation is negative.
It does. Deleting your search history disassociates it from your Google account, but it is still associated with the first 24 bits of your IP address (this is considered anonymized because there are usually many different people who use IPs in that range.)
They zeroed out the last octet of the IP addresses, which is technically de-identification.
Isn't witness testimony notoriously unreliable? I trust nobody's memory, including my own.
Later observations proved Bruno's speculations to be correct.

Well it isn't like there is any other technology that can d it. The idea that renewables can do 100% is still theoretical. Likely, but theoretical. I'd rather not put all my eggs in one basket. Rather I'd look at Sweden and France which have some of the lowest CO2eq/capita (for energy). We should look to the future, but we should also follow what is already working. We can figure out how to burry a few dozen six packs worth of radioactive material after we solve the much larger problem. Besides, if you've been paying attention to this thread, that's a solved problem (just costly and needs will).
That just isn't true. Please don't spread misinformation about what you don't understand.

I was a big fan of Victorinox growing up but I find Leathermans more useful to have around because they have pliers and Philips screwdrivers built in. I’ve done various home repair and auto stuff with it, which I doubt a Victorinox would be capable of.

I picked up a Leatherman Wingman for $25 in Canada over a decade ago. It’s less portable than a Swiss Army knife (about twice as big) but If I had to pick a one tool, it would be the Leatherman.

Or do the same thing. A scammer is a scammer, people don't become one because they lack options, it's because they don't care how they harm others to have what they want. Same goes for serial killers and murders and really nice people, it's not a gender thing. But if you meant her seductive skills, it was sexual in nature and did not work on women. I think these days, society is still unfairly biased against women that appear seductive or too sexual in politics/office, women have to walk a thin line of being attractice yet not threatening or "slutty". Either way, who knows. Maybe she wouldn't need seduction and she could be a successful hacker.

Linus shat on the FSF and GPLv3 at a 2014 Q&A. The word bigot was thrown around by LT when characterizing the FSF. During the Q&A he also carted out the same tired "you have to earn respect" rag that volatile people use.

He was invited to take part by the Debian folks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmHRSeA2c8

After the event, there were complaints about him. What "leaked" is ~250 private messages from the Debian team members deciding if they should tell LT he is no longer welcome at Debian events.

Side A: He was prick, he broke the rules and hoped to skirt responsibility by virtue of his celebrity. We can't give him a pass. Favoritism bad.

Side B: We invited him to an fully open Q&A knowing that he would speak his mind. Are we really going censure him for doing what we asked him to do?
Sort of. ANSI introduced prototypes, but old-style function declarations and definitions, though they were declared obsolescent, remained valid (i.e., any conforming C compiler is still required to support them).

As of the 2011 standard, that's still the case. I think that C2X will finally remove them.
Check out the Victorinox Signature Lite - it’s a very small keychain knife with a blade, scissors, pen (!), led light, nail file and screwdriver.
