If energy density were proportional to cost, nuclear fission would already be dominating by a factor of 2,000,000x over fracked gas and coal. The reality is that complexities of systems needed in energy conversions end up coming into play. Getting net energy out of fusion was done in the 1950s (explosively, but still). Even given sustained controlled fusion, you still have to build a power plant around it and 'break even' on costs.
I don’t think a discussion on the Patriot Act can not not be political. What people don’t realize is that Trump’s transparency of character didn’t allow him to snake through bills like the Bush administration (I’m oddly suggesting the man was too honest to succeed in politics long term). A competent Trump could have orchestrated messaging similar to what the neocons did. Just look at the name of this thing, ‘Patriot Act’, whereas Trump’s initiatives failed so hard at messaging that things got called ‘The Muslim Ban’, which many could argue the Patriot Act might as well have been called initially. We lucked out that this guy was more into his own schtick than actually being part of deliberate cohort with an agenda.

If someone on the right-wing gets the messaging right, intermixed with competent political infrastructure, we could easily see more bills like the Patriot Act in the future, especially since Trump showed there is a massive appetite for some of the toxic rhetoric in this country. Anyone that can package those ideas in a palatable way can snake in nasty bills named ‘Totally not nasty and very good Act’.
They are not equivalent. Join can throw away information - and certainly does for (Maybe (Maybe a) -> Maybe a) and ([[a]] -> [a]).

They would be equivalent if there was an isomorphism, but of course there isn't.
What’s the acronym for “it took me three seconds after page load to read any of this because the designer either neglected or aggressively shaved off a media query and I had to wait to enable reader view”?

Edit: I’m not trying to overly criticize the page. I hope this is taken in the spirit of the article. A few extra bytes down the wire would’ve made that a much faster and lower friction experience for me.
How do you make people collaborate, in a scenario like that, where each person has 1-2 projects of their own? How do you prevent these projects from becoming “niches”, and expand in complexity to take the entire time of each said developer?
In the Russian election interference investigation, they found that the spear-phishing sites setup to mimic google login pages all used the same link shortening service - this could be something like “Which Russian IP addresses accessed bit.ly/JohnPodesta” or a similar request.

Yeah, I don't know why companies do it because it is so counterproductive and damaging: it reduces quality and increases time to completion while harming employee health.

Very brief crunches can maybe push you over a deadline but will (in my experience) result in lower overall productivity per hour (and higher defect rates) for the entire crunch + recovery interval.

Which seems to mean do a two week crunch and then fire your developers, but replacing them is usually more costly than recovery time.

It probably isn't a coincidence that universities often have two week final exam/final project periods followed by two (or more) weeks of vacation.

When I go outside green is the color my eyes are looking for to relax. Also pixels in the white background emit the maximum energy. One reason Apple introduced the dark mode is the pixels to emit mostly the valuable information and save energy , thus saving the battery life.
I don’t call that an improvement. Having my audio switch from the meeting I’m currently in to the 400th spam call of the day isn’t an improvement over getting to ignore the call entirely.
You make a bunch of valid points. Thanks for clarifying.

>Having secret judges, secret tribunals, or anonymous judges, would only make oppression easier. This is what dictatorships do.

But I don't really get what you mean by this. We don't have secret or anonymous judges. And anyone who wants to address any particular judge knows exactly where to find them -- at the relevant courthouse.

In fairness, we do have the FISA court, whose proceedings are secret (and I don't like that one bit), but the judges who sit on the FISA court aren't anonymous or "secret." And again, if someone has an issue with any of those judges, they can just go to the relevant court and do so.

Going to people's homes to intimidate or harm them or their families is repugnant to me personally and to a free society in general.

You said that "Laws like this just give them more cover."

Are you advocating that people go to people's homes to intimidate, threaten and harm people and/or their families as a check on how they deal with others?

That sounds a lot like the vigilantism you appear to decry.

Or are you claiming that we live in a failed state, so any actions taken against public figures is not only acceptable, but encouraged?

I guess the tl;dr is that you didn't answer my question. Will you do so now?
> there continue to be threads full of arguments that amount to "It should be possible for 'good' network admins to intercept traffic from devices that don't trust them, but 'bad' network admins shouldn't be able to intercept traffic from devices that don't trust them"

That's not what I see at all.

I see people pointing out that DoH hurts privacy and reduces control for end users by providing a convenient turnkey solution for device vendors to bypass filtering at the network level.

I also see it pointed out that DoH could have been specified in a way that facilitated filtering for the local network. Given that it's so obviously possible, the fact that it wasn't speaks volumes.

Note that (IIUC) your ISP can still see which sites you visit because TLS still transmits the FQDN in plaintext (https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/86723). Even if that stopped happening tomorrow, the destination IP would still be visible (not quite as bad but still reveals a huge amount of information). On top of all that, DNSSEC already exists which allows you to verify the authenticity of the query result. As such, the argument in favor of DoH would seem to be limited to preventing your DNS resolver (but not your ISP or VPN!) from tracking which sites you visit. I don't find that to be very compelling in light of the immediate downsides.
I agree with your comment, but think it's largely unrelated to my point.

My point isn't to cast judgment on people with dark traits. Rather, it's to provide an answer to the original question of whether people with dark personality traits are more likely to succeed. I think the answer is yes because the less attached you are to morality, the more choices you have at your disposal. And, the more choices you have at your disposal, the more likely you are to achieve your goals. The important caveat being that others don't catch on.

Note that this point isn't mutually exclusive with the idea that there's a spectrum of conscientiousness, and where you fall on that spectrum changes with age and experience.

It's pretty hard to sell "just" a location sharing app, most people want extra features to feel like it's worth paying for, even more so for subscriptions.

Some of the features I got requests for were: tracklogs/history, geofencing, possibility to automate start/stop, overview web page for fleet tracking and so on.

I just tried the app and love the high quality feel of it and I think the amount of features in the MVP should already cover the needs of most people for the free version.

Out of curiosity, how often do you update the location? I couldn't find any setting for that.

I don’t save in cash, my savings are in various investments such as equity index funds or businesses and real estate.

But every year a dollar seems to buy less of what I need, and I can’t imagine how people who earn far less than me can deal with it. If you don’t keep investing, you certainly are falling further and further behind, but how can you invest if you’re just making ends meet as it is.
I have created a similar silly hack where you can just write markdown directly:

# Markdown header

## Subheader

### Section header

1. Numbered
1. List

- Unordered
- List

[//]: # (<html><body></body><script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script><script>var doc = document.children[0].textContent.split('\n'); md = doc.slice(0, doc.length - 1).join("\n"); document.body.innerHTML = marked(md);</script></html><!--)

That last line has varying degrees of invisibility in different markdown viewers I looked at.
Obviously there's optimization that could be had here but this is equally hacky IMO and simpler since you can just write MD instead of JSON. You lose a couple of key features though -- templated components for example. However, I imagine you could shoehorn those in without much effort.

This has the advantage that without JS enabled you'll get poorly formatted markdown in the browser.

I haven't yet, because all I have to go by is claims by FireEye and the FBI. I already said why I take what FireEye says with a grain of salt, and frankly, I also take what the FBI says with more than a grain of salt. The FBI is inherently political, and even when they are not, they are known to make up stuff when it suits them (e.g. "parallel construction").

That may be a rather untrusting/paranoid mindset that I employ, but it worked for me so far.

> Likewise, guessing the third argument of the "ellipse" function isn't "learning programming". It's simply a barrier to learning.

It's even worse than that. The "ellipse" function should only take 2 arguments - a point and a size (or 2 points if that's your thing).

I see so much of this sort of terrible API design, especially in graphics where good API design makes things so much clearer and easier to use. Writing out a point and a size as 4 variables is madness.

Due to my disability, I have times during the day where I need to use my computer laying down flat. I'm not really able to use a chair like this, but I've been wondering how to pull it off laying in bed.

Right now, it's just a MBP sitting on a laptop stand, with no other peripherals other than headphones/mic. I found a few different stands online but they are pretty expensive. It would be awesome if I could get a desktop setup going—rather than a laptop—that's still easy enough to move out of the way when not using it. But the setup has to be easy enough for my non-technical assistants to help me with.

The reason it works locally is because charset detection works different when loading from a local file than when loading from a webserver.

In particular browsers tend to be a lot more enthusiastic about treating local files as unicode than they are for responses from web servers.

The reason the meta charset doesn't pick up is you're missing quotes around `utf-8` (also it may be past the 1024 byte mark, hard to say without running wc).
> Debian and Ubuntu, which offer five years of Long Term Support are the next best thing available, and that's already kind of tight for long-term deployments of self-hosted, old-fashioned business software.

Remember that, in Ubuntu, the majority of packages are actually ONLY supported for nine (9) months -- not the full 5 years!
AGPL isn't pro- or anti-SaaS, though. It just says that you have to provide sources to anyone you grant access to the software over a network. So if you host an AGPL database for someone else, they need access to the source code for that database somehow. But it doesn't prohibit you from hosting the database at all.

It's the perfect license for MongoDB and all these other companies trying to keep Amazon from taking their software and proprietarizing it... but instead they make weirdly restrictive one-off licenses nobody are going to contribute to.
This ignores the enormous cost involved in building and maintaining the machines to fuse that deuterium and capture the resultant energy.

You might end up being right, but I think it's actually very far from clear that fusion will ever win on cost.

I consider VOO or VTI to be a risk free return for a sufficiently long term horizon since I’m confident the US government will do whatever it takes to prop up those equity values. And if it can’t, then we probably are dealing with bigger problems like societal collapse.
I've been saying for a long time that the US should increase the tax on gas steadily every year. Even a nickel a year would be OK but more would be better.

People would be able to plan on the price increasing every year and make sound economic decisions on whether they wanted to move closer to work, etc.

Unfortunately, it became apparent about the same time that the US is almost incapable of doing something in an organized fashion. People would scream about the price of gas going up and it would be rolled back. Or there'd be subsidies that would negate the tax increases.

The article's question: "Why are correlations meaningful?" Here's a simplified answer.

Correlations are meaningful because they indicate how strongly variables can predict other variables, in some circumstances. This is valuable because some variables are easier to use than others.

A positive correlation between two variables means they tend to move in the same direction (relative to their mean).

A negative correlation between two variables means they tend to move in opposite directions.

A strong correlation between two variables means that they tend to change in much the same kinds of relative magnitudes, and also that either variables can be used to generally predict the other.

A weak correlation between two variables means that the two variables tend to change in somewhat the same kinds of relative magnitudes, sometimes with some kinds of exceptions, and also that either variable can be used to somewhat predict the other.

Thus a strong positive correlation means that variables can predict each other effectively, and also move in the same direction. This is especially valuable for projects where one variable is easy to obtain, yet the other variable is hard to obtain.

And it turns out that a strong positive correlation can be a good place to hunt for possible causality, such as hunting for something that causing both variables to change together. However, correlation doesn't imply causation.

A strong positive correlation can be good evidence that a hypothesized causality is likely to be true. For example an experiment can test if X causes Y, by varying X, and discovering that X and Y tend to change together.

> If you want a more user-friendly guarantee, you can reserve it when it's added to the cart.

If you open an ACID transaction when the user adds something to the cart and don't close it until they check out, you'll find your database gets locked up pretty quickly. So you can't actually use the ACID transactions to implement the behaviour you want - you have to implement some kind of reserve/commit semantics in userspace, whether you're using an ACID database or not.
It's falsifiable.
Both ITER is scheduled to be done and SPARC are trying to make net energy in 5 years. They probably won't hit those dates, but we aren't really talking about 20 years anymore.

That's interesting. My first thought was that the attacker wanted access to internal red team tools under the assumption that resulting indicators would be ignored by the blue team, making attacks against their customers less likely to be detected.
