I think it is useful to consider this a form of lossless compression not only because it technically is a form of lossless compression but also because a simple compression algorithm like this is a good introduction to the various tradeoffs that compression algorithms can have.

This is an instance of dictionary encoding where terms are words and dictionary code space is the entire machine addressing space (heap).

The disadvantage of this approach is that you can only "deduplicate" words that are exactly the same and you cannot remove duplicated substrings. Another disadvantage is that the dictionary code size is 8 bytes which means you achieve some saving only for words that are longer than 8 bytes (plus some other overhead for the interning index).

Compression algorithms that use dictionary encoding typically use code/symbol sizes smaller than 64 bits, often using variable length encoded numbers encoded with some kind of entropy coding that is able to use short bit sequences for codes representing dictionary entries appearing often and longer bit sequences for less frequent ones.

But the idea is the same. During decompression you read each "number" from the compressed stream and you use it effectively to index an array that contains the target (sub)strings.

The algorithm in the post just interprets the 64-bit dictionary code as an index in the giant array that is the machine addressing space.

Money is an effective motivator until it isn't. I quit an extremely lucrative job because I hated the person I was turning in to and haven't looked back.

I would be wary of making generalizations on motivation which is highly variable person to person.

To what audience? It isn't quite what you're getting at in your post but this is worth saying: graffiti, zines, contact with journalists, radio operations like pirate radio, all of it is much more established and less uncertain in risk profile than being online. Crucially it may also be more effective.
Well, it depends on how the roads are financed. You are right that roads financed out of general taxation and free to use can be seen as direct or indirect subsidies to the car industry.

But the same physical road, but financed out of user-fees (or by voluntary contributions from nearby shops to attract shoppers etc) by a profit-driven private company, are not subsidies to the car industry.

Or take the hypothetical from the last paragraph, and add massive taxes on top, and all of a sudden it's the opposite of a subsidy. But the physical road stays the same.

While I don't know if that covers all the expenses, I don't think people appreciate how much funding the US system is contributing to new med-tech development.

A previous client created some analytics software, they have EU regulatory approvals, but those are almost secondary, without FDA approval they would shutdown. All of their client, except for a few UK customer (who just bundle and resell in the US) all of their clients are in the US. For a lot of smaller medical companies, even in the EU, the US market is their number one source of revenue.

I might be wrong, but it's also my impression that if you do have the money, you'll get much more in-depth care and treatment in the US. And it's from this segment many companies find the funding to develop new technology that will only much much later trickle down to public healthcare systems else where in the world.

Obama himself has said to that Obamacare (well ACA) is like (to use my own analogy) a "patch" on a a system that can't just be reimplemented (most of it due to political reasons). It's not terrific but it's what was able to be done.

Whereas e.g. single payer was an unachievable pipe dream from where they were standing in 2008/09. And he'd rather have something a bit better rather than go for the excellent system and fail and be left with the bad system.
A threat model which people using self-signed certificates especially care about.

The idea of certificate authorities, certificate chains and intermediary certificates is common - and based on top down security. That is the reason why it is so dangerous. There is a “lock” and people believe everything is “good” but actually DigiNotar, TurkTrust or the bad government issued a certificate. Google tried more than once to improve the situation but I think they just told Chrome only to accept their actual certificates for their services?

Messenger apps like Signal show how it should be done, the user itself checks and accept. Cameras and QR-codes made it easy. SSHs ASCII fingerprints are a nice thing, too.

Pocketpair might have difficulties partnering with many businesses even outside of gaming in the future, since I've been led to believe the non-legal effects tend to matter quite a bit in Japan as well, but they have global appeal and can find foreign partners if they need to.

XML signatures in SAML suck so much they deserve to be your point one. For functionality at least it's possible to just poke around and see what works with whatever party your connecting, but debugging broken signing? With XML signatures it is possible to have it all working with one provider (perhaps a Windows machine running ADFS) and then be unable to verify the signatures from another, and you'll never know where the fault lies.

At least with modern stuff like JWT's the ways to encrypt and sign are well-understood.

This is fair but isn’t also this what we want? Like if you run a company, if you realize that mistakes were made, isn’t it reasonable to expect a correction? And by “what we want” I mean the admitting a mistake and correcting it.

In BGA soldering, the concept of partial alignment doesn’t really happen. Here’s why: In a 2D plane (which is the PCB), only two points are needed to define alignment. If two solder balls are aligned with their pads, surface tension in the reflow process ensures the entire BGA package aligns with the rest of the pads automatically.

Surface tension acts on all the solder balls, pulling the package into place along both the X and Y axes. So once the first few balls are in place, the whole thing “snaps” into alignment. Misaligning only some pads while others are perfectly aligned isn’t possible unless something’s seriously wrong, like a warped board or damaged package.

It’s an all-or-nothing situation—either everything aligns, or nothing does.

Mathematically, the chance of a drug going from phase 2 to phase 3 is roughly 30%

This can be modeled with a binomial distribution as 1-probability of both failing.
That comes out to 1-(.7^2) which is 51% of at least one drug reaching phase 3.

There is literally a coin flip chance the company will reach the stage where there is another coin flip it will be worth billions (I believe ~50% of phase 3 drugs go to market), but thanks to the messaging of the CEO, right now it seems like there is a near 0% chance investors (which include former company employees) would benefit from this.

For a while, Google was blocking IPv6 from Linode, to similar effect.
J2ME was my first experience with mobile app development. It was very direct and easy to program for! But it definitely needed testing on the different devices. We had an array of different phones to test on. And some definitely had a nicer implementation than others.

The Java it supported was very old fashioned, with no generics. Which was a pain at times.

I actually prefer lead-free solder because its more aggressive flux and higher soldering temperature.

This allows burning away and tinning enameled wire with the soldering tip.

Though there are only two lead-free solders that qualify. I use the Felder Ultra-Clear EL Sn100Ni+. The other one is the Amasan BF32-3.

Or any other attack. I remember we had such a centralized registration system. It was used to great effect by the German Nazis when they occupied our country. Of course, occupation by foreign aggressors is highly unlikely in Estonia. Unless history repeats itself as it has (in Estonia) dozens of times.

You're not wrong. The amount of fields of use where XML is used bogusly which have nothing to do with markup is truly staggering. XML signing and relying on canonical XML serialization for it is just peak and something else.

The sad thing is that XML was meant as a simplification over full SGML for delivery of markup on the web. Specifically, XML is always fully tagged (doesn't make use of tag inference), and does neither have empty ("void") elements nor short forms for attributes such as in <option selected>. Thus XML never needs markup declarations for special per-element or per-attribute parsing rules. This was done to facilitate newer vocabularies next to HTML like SVG and MathML.

But soon enough, folks took the XML specification as an invitation for complexity and a self-serving spec circus: namespaces, XInclude (as a bogus replacement for entity expansion), XQuery, XSLT, XML Schema as a super-verbose replacement for DTDs using XML itself, etc. XHTML 2 was the largest failure and turning point, introducing not just a new vocabulary, but trying to reinvent how browsers work in a design-by-comittee fashion. It could be said that XHTML took W3C down along with it.

For message payloads in large and long-term multi-party projects (governments, finance/payments, healthcare, etc.), I'm however not sure the alternatives (JSON-over-HTTP and the idiotic quasi-religious apeal to misunderstood "REST" semantics) is really helping. XML Schema, while in part overkill and unused (substitution groups), certainly has facilitated separating service interface from service implementation, multiple generations and multiple implementations, test cases bases, and other long-term maintenance goals.
First gen "Google" Nexus tablet, factory restored before being put in storage and it's got 15 seconds between touching the screen and the UI even attempting to update. It was a decent small tablet when i bought it, too.

My Nokia N800 runs the exact same as it did when i bought it, used, about 4 years after the release. I can even stream transcoded video to it, still. The camera works. The terminal works fine. That's probably why apple has trillions of market cap or whatever and Nokia is making $50 feature phones with touchscreens (i haven't seen any nor do i care, the n900 (910?) should have been a bigger deal and i'm still mad)

MIT requires attribution, doesn't it? MIT (permissive) / MPL (non-viral copyleft) / AGPL (viral copyleft) seems like a better grouping to me; I rarely find myself reaching for any other licenses.

I do wish there were a shorter copyleft license though. I appreciate how transparent and readable MIT is.

I don't know exactly how it works in the states, but I'm assuming you still sign a contract when accepting a job? That contract has all sorts on it, often including job title, expected responsibilities, work hours, etc.

If a company decides to change that then you must agree to the new contract, or they risk legal action. If you don't then their options are keep you where you are or fire you, and of course firing someone is it's own minefield, as shown here.

There is certainly an argument to be made that the US pays the R&D costs for the rest of the world. Most new drugs end up in public healthcare systems as if the pharmaceutical company is throwing an old product into the discount bin.

However some of these new drugs are so expensive that some countries are now refusing to allow certain new cancer drugs on the market. Simply because the exorbitant price compared to the questionable gains in quality of life doesn't make sense anymore.
