Well, Stallman browses the web by sending emails[1], so he still has you beat :)

But you must realize 99.999% of the population would never do that, and for most people extensions are vital and useful. So giving them such security advice is like saying "oh, personal security is simple - just never have any money and anything valuable and never leave home". Not very practical.

Without marketing, potentially breakout hit songs fly under the radar. I'm pretty sure it happens more often than you think. If memory serves, the work of both La Roux and Ed Sheeran ("The A Team") didn't become popular in the USA until a year or two after the songs in question were released. If that can happen, I have no difficulty believing other songs are simply never "discovered"- which is something marketing helps address.

In summary, musicians make music "listenable"- but marketers make music "discoverable".
I wonder, what is the equivalent of the "titanium case" for a website or mobile app rollout?
Would it be an interesting idea to create a framework for making webapps as nginx modules? Sure, it's a pain in the ass, but nginx is evented as opposed to thread pooled, and tried and tested. Because nginx takes up hardly any memory, you could run a single nginx instance and proxy to other nginx instances that are compiled purely to run the app.

Though the scope for creating critical vulnerabilities is huge.
Yeah I didn't want to get into it but sometimes some BS bugs you and its hard not to comment. I try to stick to non political on HN.

Kinda rewarding "bad" behavior though right? this is the first time PG has sorta commented on any comment I have made.

You may know this but India's been working on it, since it has substantial thorium reserves and not much uranium.
> While the safety of nuclear power plants is hotly contested, no one is arguing the nastiness of plutonium.

Except everyone who knows anything about it. Plutonium is a hot topic because it's what you need to build a nuke, but the public perception that it is a significant as nuclear waste is simply completely misguided.

Because it's half-life is so long, it's only mildly radioactive. It's an alpha emitter, so plutonium not in your body is not a risk to you. It oxidizes easily, and it's oxides are heavy and non-soluble, so when it is released to the environment, it just tends to fall down and stay there. There is negligible biological uptake through eating, and while there is some uptake through breathing, plutonium does not tend to stay airborne.

Various people have denounced environmental plutonium as something capable of killing billions. The toxicity of plutonium in humans is not known, simply because not enough people have died of it. There is no-one in the world who has died of plutonium exposure who did not have it injected into his body (and that's a long and horrible story), and there were a lot of people who worked coated in plutonium dust for a long time. Of the people who were injected with plutonium, most died of other causes. Suffice to say, plutonium is sufficiently non-radioactive that it's chemical toxicity is considered significant in it's lethality. Or, in other words, it's fine to consider toxicity of environmental plutonium as you would consider lead or other heavy metals.

To put it short, plutonium being toxic is simply not a concern as far as nuclear waste is concerned. If all the plutonium produced by civilian nuclear power was pulverized and spread in populated areas, it would not make nuclear reactors as dangerous to people as wind power. (Somewhat ironically, because of the thorium that is released into the environment while separating the REE for the magnets.) Taking all the plutonium produced in a plant and dumping it in one spot doesn't make that spot as dangerous as the ground near a typical fuel station that was in use for the period leaded gas was used.

Nuclear waste is really bad, but that's because of short-lived isotopes, which decay more often, and thus are more radioactive, and light radioactive materials, which are often soluble in water, have high biological uptake, and can stay in the atmosphere.

Plutonium needs to be tracked really closely, but that is not because it's toxic, it's because it can be used to make a bomb.

The more you know.

> Congress cannot make murder legal.

I chose a bad example because murder is generally illegal under state law, not federal law (though there are exceptions). But there are things that are illegal under federal law that Congress has the power to change. Those things are in fact illegal (now) notwithstanding that Congress could change the law and make them legal. Likewise, Robert's appointments are not reviewable (now) notwithstanding that Congress could change the law and make his appointments reviewable.

When did Niles Rodgers last produce a breakout hit? I too am of the opinion that the success of the song had more to do with the music than the marketing in this case... but I dont think picking to work with a 'washed up' 70s & 80s producer was an obvious no brainer.
You got the value because you were able to read through the thing already. However, the other side of the argument is that people are getting turned off immediately and never read the content, so they don't get any value at all, and worse, get pissed because the footer was all up on their face.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this sort of footer is a good case for a GUI anti-pattern. It literally hurts your sales.

He's using rails, so he can use SASS (which personally I like better than LESS, but they accomplish the same things). Manifest files are better though, because with LESS's @import, you might import more files than you actually want. I believe you also have the recursive import issue, just like C. Manifest files give you more granularity by existing outside of the actual stylesheet.
Just a nitpick, the LFTR isn't a fast reactor, though it is a breeder. Thermal reactors breed thorium to U233 just fine. Some people have proposed fast molten salt reactors but those designs aren't as far along.
You're not even trying. Maybe if you're "not even vaguely interested in [the] discussion", you shouldn't take part in it.

Sure you can argue for or against the double edged sword that is government– and I'm sure most "reasonable people" would argue for it. But saying that the basic tenets that oleganza wrote about are wrong is patently lying to yourself.

If you don't pay your taxes, don't agree with a court's verdict, don't pay a fine that you got– guess what, ultimately things will be resolved by holding you against your will in a little concrete cell, and if you try to get out of it, violence will be used against you.

> But anyone in a democracy can become a politician and gain that power or a political activist

Have you been following the news recently? Do you see what happens to activists? As for the argument "anyone can become politician and have power", I find staring at the pictures on this page to be pretty self-explanatory wrt that argument: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_...

You can dismiss it all if you want, but you're only fooling yourself.
No one with even a rudimentary understanding of exponential growth believes energy consumption can grow exponentially forever. But the problem is self-fixing; one day, the supply of energy will stop growing as fast as demand. The day will come, the day will pass, and the world will adjust.

My mom lives in Bakersfield and our family own a ranch in the valley (north of Bakersfield). My mom's neighbor had a bad case last year and she said most people know someone who has/had it.

Out where the ranches are, everything is dusty. Much more so than you see to the west in the Salinas valley or where I live (Paso/San Luis/Santa Maria). They built several prisons there years ago. It's pretty much the only lights you can see at night.

There are perfectly good engineering solutions to all of the points you've raised which I won't go into here, because I don't want to waste your time or mine. I'll just state that Biosphere 2 was a terrible experiment that in no way reflects the proper way to do a mission of that sort. Additionally, there are myriad ways of generating resources in-situ, especially with using the Martian atmosphere.

The point is that I'm not talking about a society a year or even a decade into a mission. Once the groundwork is laid, though, the possibilities emerge. The colonies didn't revolt until 169 years after Jamestown was founded. I'll finish by saying that your pessimism is unfounded, as very smart people have figured out solutions to most of the problems you have presented. Furthermore, just because you personally do not find such a situation to your liking doesn't mean that others feel the same way.

He was named about his relative named Forrest, who was part of a group that wore bed sheets and rode around on horses that also wore bed sheets. - KKK reference.

Forrest was at the U. of Ark. during the time of integration, and picked up the book dropped by one of the Little Rock 9.

What justice is due for a 16-year old who grew up in Colorado and has an "unresponsible" father? Are some people classed as waging war by speaking? Are their children classed as combatants from the moment they turn six years old?
I think you and the article are in agreement - they said: "If possible, the longer axis of the building, also known as the ridge line, should be oriented east/west." And you said facing north/south.

I agree about the roof. Reflective metal roofs are gaining popularity here, and last a long time (50 year guarantee), but also cost more. Something that is found in high-end/custom homes is a conditioned attic space, with the majority of the insulation under the roof, and not directly above the ceiling of the living space. If you can keep the inside of attic below 100F, the relatively thin insulation on the air conditioning ducts will be more effective. Again, it costs more to get this benefit...

Handwritten digits actually is a pretty good domain for deep nets, and the poor performance achieved in the article's case is due to the implementation (it needs deeper net, convolutional layer, etc). In that case much better (99%+) results have been achieved by deep nets for digit recognition. In fact, Hinton (in his Coursera course) recommends this domain for studying deep nets, since it is so well understood.

(Ben I know you're aware of all this already, but I just wanted to clarify for those who aren't as on top of the research as you)

Just to not do anything that offends them. If that means no popups, or giant trailing footers, then that means no popups or giant trailing footers under no circumstance whatsoever.

The call to action has to be non-intrusive. And that's probably going to depend on the type of call to action, though I think that if he had left the footer as it was intended to do (the offer comes after the article is done, once you read the whole thing and you're sold, as is the traditional approach that you know, sells) it would have worked much better.

It's hard to read through a slot, and who wants to do that?

So a marketing page needs to be easy to read and give the call to action at the end.
Ha, the journalist has no idea what he is talking about. Daft Punk is not obscure at all, and it has a massive cult following. They consistently (but infrequently) produce quality tracks. Of course their releasing a new album caused massive excitement.
Google CLO David Drummond Op-Ed on PRISM (Google Translate link)
On the contrary, you're extrapolating too much from the OP. It was never presented as a universal impression, and I really doubt anyone took it that way. However, the anecdote is useful because it shows that there are people who absolutely hate testimonials. Which is a useful lesson for anyone who might be blindly using testimonials as opposed to actually analyzing their users. The OP never challenged the statistics or suggested that testimonials are always bad.

To say that users sharing their anecdotal negative experiences about what you claim is an indisputably positive experience for the user is an interesting argument to make though. It's almost like you're telling the OP that it's good for them whether they realize or not.
"If you listen to this album, it does not have hit songs except for Get lucky"

That's really not saying much because most of the tracks are intentionally constructed to be unfriendly to Top 40 radio; e.g. the end of Contact.

"The success of this single is due to the contributions of legendary recording artist AND producer Nile Rodgers"

Nile Rodgers is a legendary producer but Get Lucky was produced by Daft Punk like every other track on RAM. How confident in their production are they? They used legendary producer Giorgio Moroder only for his (non-musical) vocals. The whole album would have come off as a huge act of hubris if it came out and only had one good track.

"it was the only good track."

Opinions are like children -- we often like our own more than other people's. Instant Crush and Contact are great tracks. Better than Get Lucky? I don't know how you graph track quality. The entire album is good though.

Lose Yourself to Dance is one of the weaker songs on the album but more radio friendly and so I think it's going to be the second single which is a disappointment because it isn't very good next to Get Lucky.
Is religion not an authority structure?
There's not much info about what it is. It might be a cross promotion network like many of the other ones that exist.

Video forces me to go at someone else's pace -- the creator or expected 'average viewer' -- which is often too slow.

It also makes skipping or rewinding a matter of finely-navigated clicks into tiny target areas, whereas the best hardware scrolling controls offer giant, forgiving action-areas yet that still enable nearly pixel-level resolution and fine steps of speed/acceleration.

Depending on your device, scrolling in many directions might be very, very easy. Large trackpads, the Apple 'Magic Mouse', and most touch screens can make scrolling far more easy, adaptive, and intuitive than even 'forward' and 'back' buttons.

I tend to think people most peeved by scrolling as a major navigational technique (in both space and time) are still using tiny trackpads, mice with nubby scroll wheels, or even (shudder) ThinkPad-like joysticks or keyboard arrows. Stone knives and bearskins!

Does this apply to you?
This is probably the majority opinion of people who come from smaller devices. I too had to strain to read it, but kept on. I'm 25 with good eyesight, but as you said, that tiny slot is just too much to bear.
Let's try something a little more intellectual: there's also the aspect that eugenics is an idea directed to the improvement of humanity (an idea I'm... suspicious of) and abortions are decision by individuals reflecting individual circumstance. I don't believe these decisions are made on the eugenics basis: that disabled people are somehow worse than other people.

Eugenics is relatively easy to judge: you can get all the facts. Individual decisions are always harder: you don't know the full circumstance. I'm not saying that their aren't abortions made for obscene reasons (terminating girls is an obvious example), but not all are.

Proving an implementation reliable, IMO, is impossible. We can only check them against known attacks, and surprising new attacks pop up every now and then. In the extreme, we cannot know about new physics before it is discovered (a dark matter reciever might be able to peek at encryption keys from miles away. If it did, our idea about how the universe works would change enormously, but it is not something we can rule out)

So, I think one can only prove the mathematics safe and there, AFAIK, we are far from any solid result. This article mentions "AES is known to be immune to differential cryptanalysis", but again, that is a proof for a known attack. In a related field, we don't even know whether one-way functions exist. In the end, there might be a result that shows that cryptanalysis can't be exponentially harder than encryption (unlikely, but AFAIK, not disproved)

Careful of the No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s super common for people in certain groups (e.g. Christianity) to say, “Oh, but real Christianity doesn’t believe or condone X, Y, or Z” while, in fact, huge numbers of people who self-identify as members of that group do, in fact, believe or do X, Y, and Z.
(And yes, just in case you were wondering, the element thorium really is named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder. And yes, Norse mythology originated from Norway, where Thor Energy is based. Coincidence, I think not!)

The first sample of Thorium was found in Norway:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium#History

Morten Thrane Esmark found a black mineral on Løvøya island, Norway and gave a sample to his father Jens Esmark, a noted mineralogist. The elder Esmark was not able to identify it and sent a sample to Swedish chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius for examination in 1828. Berzelius determined that it contained a new element, which he named thorium after Thor, the Norse god of thunder.[17] He published his findings in 1829.[50][51][52]

The fact that Thor Energy is Norwegian might just be due to the country being at the same time very wealthy and environment-minded. The Norwegian reserves of thorium are far smaller than those of other countries.
Considering Norway is already a net exporter of both oil and hydroelectric power, if they add cutting-edge nuclear to the portfolio, they will really be all-around energy kingpins!

Incidentally, this is the project site, which the article irritatingly doesn't bother to link: http://www.thorenergy.no/en.aspx
