Be that as it may, I'm curious about the recommendation to use WHIRLPOOL. If anyone knows why this algorithm is supposed to be better than, let's say, SHA-512, I would appreciate an explanation. Is it because of some intrinsic strengh of the algorithm? Is it because one of the authors is Vincent Rijmen of AES fame? Is it because NESSIE is more trustworthy than NSA/NIST? Or is is simply because no one has found a way to break WHIRLPOOL yet?

I'm not a materials (or IC) guy, but my guess is that fracture toughness isn't going to be huge issue. Once the wafer is made, they're all going to be treated pretty gently. The tricky step is actually making the wafer. My understanding is that silicon wafers are normally manufactured by growing a giant silicon crystal ingot, and then basically slicing them into wafers. My understanding of graphene is that since they more or less have to be grown in sheets, then there isn't much of a subtractive process to put high stress on the material.
Perhaps the willingness of the software to allow the battery to bleed itself out should increase as you close in within a few miles of a super-charger.

Cablecars are essentially a conveyor-belt form of transport. They require a lot of infrastructure and if there's a breakage, the whole system is down rather than just one piece. They also make noise everywhere, even when there's no traffic in sight.

Then, of course, if your conveyor belt is pedestrian-based, you have exposure to the elements (also meaning limited long-distance travel due to slow speed) and switching between conveyors would be troublesome (particularly if you're inform or have baggage). If you instead ride in some sort of pod, you can up the speed and protect yourself from the elements, but you still need to get it on and off the conveyor belt smoothly; it's be something approaching the complexity of a car anyway. How also would you prioritise/speed up emergency vehicle traffic, which often has to go as quickly as possible?

It's certainly an interesting thought experiment, coming up with the pros and cons.
For the record, my comment was not meant to imply that entanglement is the source of psi; it is rather clear that it is not (regardless of how many pseudo-scientific books on Amazon say otherwise). My point is that the world became much more weird than we would have given credit for a century ago or so ago, to the point that we still don't fully understand it (even if we can use it to make predictions to a remarkable level of accuracy), after all, to cover it today, we have to manufacture new universes every time a person makes a decision to make the data fit (obviously, I'm reaching into hyperbole to make a point, but only because I put the person in the middle).

Could psi be an exhibition of some other weirdness, something in the realm of the indecipherable thing we call consciousness or some other effect we have yet to find? I think the odds are very long against it, but they are probably greater than zero. We live in a universe that may be a 3D hologram above a 2D reality; that leaves lots of room for things we don't understand. I'm not ready to concede that we know everything (but while a handful of current psi researchers are interesting, I'm fully on the skeptical side).
If you have to "Get educated" to select and eat food then i would avoid. The issue with GMO is that there is a very little observation done. I agree that for that matter many of the other food/medicine is same. We really do not know if i take all GMO food for say 5 years what will happen? Does some not-GMO react differently with GMO? how about places like India where you can get anything certified as long as some professor or doctor says it is no problem to eat unless it is related immediate death.

For a distro that moves as quickly as Ubuntu does, a two-year delay is about as good as indefinite postponement. In effect, they're saying "We'll watch how the Wayland vs. Mir competition goes."

I don't think it's safe to assume the car was at 93% charge based on the reported 247 mile estimated range. It's not clear to me that the car will always show estimated range to be 265 when charge is 100%.

Range estimation is a lot more complicated than 'percent of max power stored' * 265. Obviously Tesla's algorithm was too optimistic in this case, even though there seemed to be some 'safety margin' at the start.

I'm sure Tesla has a great deal of data on the variance of miles covered on a full charge over all sorts of terrain, climate, traffic, driving patterns, etc. and I would assume they use that data to build a decent range predictor. Probably the hardest part is not so much getting a good prediction from given set of inputs, but actually getting decent inputs to feed into the predictor. Driver enters the destination address, but after that... is the car pulling temperature, wind speed/direction, elevation delta, statistical traffic patterns, live traffic, etc...

OK... After considering all that, maybe we just implement 'percent of max power stored' * 265 and call it a day. (It's like the 80/20 rule has become the 80/1 rule -- so often now I feel like you can make something 80% as good, for 1% the effort.)
That's been shut down for a while if I'm not mistaken. The supports for the old loading pier are a pretty cool sight, though.

GAHHH. They messed up the units! The stated numbers (4 MPa for imperfect graphene) are wrong! They are meant to be fracture toughness (which is measured in Pa/m^0.5), not just Pa. The paper is at [0]

Table 1 is where you want to look at. It places the fracture stress of pre-cracked graphene in the 1-10 GPa range(which should be compard to the stated 100 GPa for perfect graphene).

I don't have the full materials properties of graphene with me, and I'm not a materials guy, so I may have done something wrong above (so please correct me), but I'm fairly certain that at a minimum, the article messed up the units.

> The thing is, tunesmith wasn't talking about a perfectly tuned equal temperament guitar. We're talking about tuning a guitar by ear so that one chord is sounds perfectly in tune (i.e., is in just temperament), then trying to play a different chord.

When I reread your comment, I realized that this is what you were talking about. In that case, you're absolutely right. Although it is a pretty bad idea to tune a guitar by ear by playing a single chord. Not only will other chords sound out of tune, but even slightly different voicings of the same chord. A guitar that's designed for equal temperament really needs to be tuned as such. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the standard ear tuning technique (where you match the 5th or 4th fret of one string with the open string under it) will give much better equal temperament results.
> Advertising a food as GMO free is banned for good reason. Labeling is supposed to be informative to the consumer, and alert them to nutritional information about the food which could impact their health--and GMO foods have decisively been shown to have no health impact.

Awesome. I reported this to them about a month ago when it happened to me.

The three people I emailed all the sudden started getting spam from me even after I had changed the password to something other than what it had been for so long.

The larger the total BTC market cap the larger a large buy will have to be before it looks large.
The term "encrypted password" and talk of "breaking" that encryption appears a few times in the post - I guess AOL is another company storing user passwords using reversible encryption rather than hashing them. That is concerning.
When I was at CSAIL, I got one of those targeted phishing emails like "YOURE MIT INBOX IS FULL!!11!!" full of typos and painfully fake.

It turned out someone was hacked, their address was used to send this, and apparently various people had fallen for it.
One neat property of "perfect" intervals is that, when you invert them, they remain perfect!

Perfect unison inverts to unison. Perfect octave inverts to an octave.

Perfect 4th (C to F) inverts to a perfect 5th! And vice-versa.

Contrast to a major third, or major second, which, when inverted, becomes a minor 6th (or minor seventh.) That is, the interval quality of perfects remains the same, where as major/minor/augmented/diminished intervals change qualities.

My personal account has had this for a few months, but my friendly twitter bot (@8ball_) still does not have access. Is there some sort of gatekeeping mechanism? The help page refers to twitter card analytics, but that is not helpful. It would be nice to roll my own statistics off of that CSV instead of relying on hodge podges of services like Wildfire (https://monitor.wildfireapp.com/count_reports/display?twitte...)

In any case, I'd love to see this roll out to more accounts: I think the information on engagement, follow:unfollow ratios and mentions over time are incredibly useful for creating more meaningful content (for businesses and automated services), though I am not convinced such behavior is good for individuals, and am curious whether access to a dashboard increases or decreases engagement.

>>GMO labelling is of no value though.
Because whether or not something is produced using genetic engineering techniques does not explain whether its safe.

Ah, now here's the thing. If you don't know whether it's safe or not which side do you error on? For me and my family, all I know is that my family has no particular history of health problems eating mostly "organic" in that I'm the first generation born in America and the rest of them grew up in Nigeria eating food from plants & farm animals raised with centuries-old tribal techniques. Not saying this was 100% of their diet, but certainly a great deal more natural than USA. I have a relative who doesn't need their diabetes medicine when in Nigeria to control blood sugar level. I'm guessing it's because in Nigeria 97% of the food isn't loaded with HFCS and other sweeteners.

I have no idea wether GMOs are safe, but I'm not interested in being the experiment for it. GMO labeling should be allowed. Or at the very, very least I should be able to go online to see the GMO status of a brand of food product.
GMO labeling should be allowed. Or at the very, very least I should be able to go online to see the GMO status of a brand of food product.

Another part of this is probably from the core belief I hold; that human beings messing around with mother-nature is generally hubris and risky. I do respect the fact that many, many amazing things have come out of medial science but I treat it all with caution rather than just whatever-the-scientists-say-must-be-right. Then I watch something like "Food Inc."[1] and become just a bit more skeptical of foods enhanced by science via processing, GMO, pesticides, whatever. I want my food grown with plain ol' water & sunshine & animal feces fertilizer... at least for now.

> FDA and the supposed agencies entrusted by public to protect the public from poisons in the food have deemed to have failed many times.

Like a lot of protection jobs, we only recognize when the job isn't being done right. So the occasional failure is evidence that they have "failed many times" (which is strictly correct, but not nearly as bad as it sounds).

> Could psi be an exhibition of some other weirdness, something in the realm of the indecipherable thing we call consciousness or some other effect we have yet to find?

No, because, once again, if there were any such weirdness that could transmit information through non-sensory channels, or allow people to influence matter with their minds, etc., etc., we would already have seen it in the experiments we have run. Saying magic words like "consciousness" does not change that.

Yes, we don't know everything, so we can't rule out everything that isn't covered by our current knowledge; but in the areas of physics we do know, we have a very good understanding of the boundaries of our knowledge, which means we have a very good understanding of what is ruled out by what we already know. The Carroll article I linked to goes into all this.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. When my Northern Irish colleague was raising a family in Hong Kong, he would let his baby cry in her cot for five to ten minutes before going into the room.

Nothing unusual, that's generally what we do here. The baby will often settle back to sleep and learn that crying doesn't always result in attention.

But the neighbours in his apartment were aghast and would immediately knock at his door, panicking because his baby was crying and berating him for 'abandoning' her! And the next day they would continue the chastisement; apparently the local custom was to pick up a crying baby immediately.
Can you please point me to some of the Gecko bugs you've been running into?
That's a good article on why it's good to be skeptical of people claiming "our food is toxic," however there are a at least two important pieces of evidence that anyone can observe:

1. Obesity rate, along with diabetes or "metabolic
syndrome" has skyrocketed in the past 2-3 decades.
Food supply is on a very short list of probable
causes for this.

2. Processed foods often contain additives you would do
without given the option, regardless of whether
there was any scientific evidence about adverse
effects.

> even when you have paid for it but exceeded your monthly allowance

Is this monthly allowance specific for tethering only?

Otherwise that's another problem entirely. Restrictions after exceeding the monthly allowance is OK, after all that's what you're paying for. But if I'm paying for 1 GB per month of data, then I expect to use 1 GB of data unrestricted because I'm paying for it.

And if that 1 GB of data comes with a fine print, then shouldn't consumer laws come into play, at least in the EU?

In Romania, a local career was fined for false advertising a while back because they were promising 600 free minutes, while at the same time the indivisible billing unit was 6 or 10 minutes (instead of per second after the first minute, as everybody else was doing it). Wouldn't such laws work for data too?

Concerning a recent intrusion

Last week we were made aware of a software vulnerability that allowed an intruder access to administrative functions and information from one of our databases. The intruder later stated their motive was to expose the posting habits of a specific user they disliked.

After careful review, we believe the intrusion was limited to imageboard moderation panels, our reports queue, and some tables in our backend database. Due to the way the intruder extracted information from the database, we have detailed logs of what was accessed. The logs indicate that primarily moderator account names and credentials were targeted.

Three 4chan Pass users had their Pass credentials accessed, and were notified and offered refunds and lifetime Passes shortly after the discovery. As a reminder, all payment information is processed securely by Stripe—we never see nor store any of it, and thus no payment information was compromised.

We patched the vulnerability quickly after it came to our attention, and have spent—and will continue to spend—dozens of hours poring over our software and systems to help mitigate and prevent future intrusions.

We’re sorry it happened, and will do our best to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
