I'd like just add to 'non-genetic factors can be inherited':
those same non-genetic factors can adapt much quicker than the genetic factors.

It is the combination of inheritable and quickly adaptable, that makes epigenetics such an important finding.

What's the difference between an automated SSL certificate generator and just having the browser accept self-signed certificates?

openssl is also an automated SSL certificate generator, but it only produces self-signed certificates. So why not just accept self-signed certs?
The myths those fears of ISDS are based on are so widespread in Germany, that the EU commission felt the need to debunk them, by stating (among other things):

“ISDS is not about giving unlimited rights to multinationals to challenge any legislative measure taken by sovereign states in any area of regulation. Under TTIP, investors will not be compensated with taxpayers’ money just because of a fall in profits due to a change in the law. Nor will it be possible for investors to override bans of practices like fracking.
The protection given covers a limited number of specific actions which can concretely affect an investor’s daily business operations in a foreign market, i.e. discrimination, denial of access to justice, expropriation without compensation and the inability to transfer capital to invest. Legitimate policy measures taken by public authorities to protect the environment or public health and which apply to all firms in the same way – foreign or national – cannot be successfully challenged under these provisions under the guise of investment protection.“

> Is it standard in interpreted language land to avoid optimizations in case for the debugger use case?

Yes. Otherwise, you'd have to have separate "being debugged" and "not being debugged" runtimes that keep track of different information and do different things, and it's not unlikely that you'd end up with programs doing different things as a result. You can actually access debugger information from inside the program, and it's not that uncommon to do that.
Awesome! Thanks for your great work.

Indeed. And not that it was easy to kill; I'm pretty sure it had some hardcoded delays in it, because I can't think of another program requiring so much time and annoyance to remove.

And in my books, this is clearly malicious behaviour from a corporation - think of all those productive hours in the entire world wasted because someone decided to ship some crap that then customers had to remove themselves to fix performance.

I know it's capitalism, that people are allowed and encouraged to fight with each other (er, compete) for money, but at least let's be explicit about it. It's funny how a company can punch you in the face and make you think it is normal. It's not. You just got punched in the face, you have a right to retaliate.
Yeah, maybe. On the other hand the whole phenomenon seems to be very common and has been going on for thousands of years.

That's why browsers suck as a platform - as a (power) user what I want is more powerful extensions. Security limitations seriously hinder usefulness of things - but we need them because Internet is a hostile place, full of criminals and assholes (like companies we're talking about here and their ilk) looking to take your hard-earned money from you.
Aliasing is only a problem because they prevent you assuming two values are independent of each other: a write to one could affect the other, if they are aliased.

When you enforce immutability of aliases, as Rust does, aliasing stops being a special case. The underlying value may be the same, but the behaviour is identical to when they are independent.

The only time you have problems thereafter is when you do weird things with the value's address which only coincidentally works. For example, comparing interned strings or Java's Integer objects using == works for other interned strings and small integers, respectively.
Perhaps because it's a nice language?

Languages are not the same as implementations, and languages are not fast or slow.
Indeed.

And seriously, let's admit it - the "value added" thing is bullshit, and captive portals are mostly either useless (TOS that no one reads anyway) or evil ("value added"). And as I see a few of my cow-orkers working on a captive portal right now, I can't help but think that marketers indeed live inside a strong reality distortion bubble, not realizing that the product they want is making everyone's life worse.

You sound like a typical fatty harboring the delusion that fit people are incapable of excelling at anything other than being fit.

But what made my eyes pop was the amount of caffeine. 600-900mg is way too much and pretty sure it is affecting your sleep. First result from google [1] gives an upper limit of 400mg per day. Try not to drink any coffee/tea/colas after 2pm (or whatever makes sense for the time you go to bed) and cut the amount in total. 400mg is still about 4 coffees.

As someone almost ten years older that has been basically in the same position, I think you have to challenge yourself sufficiently to grow if your job itself won't challenge you appropriately. If your organization is too uncaring to change, life is too short to deal with bad jobs. But it is always worth working towards skills that will get you a better job. That is, do the minimum to say employed but put the real focus into getting to a saner, smarter company. I say appropriate because to me the whole point of modern devops is about having the entire organization work smarter, not harder, and together on the right things to be able to stay sane.

Where I am, I know that the wider organization is completely not capable of actually fixing itself (when your network team is still manually running ping and tcproute instead of having monitoring galore from every link to another either with vendor tools or something crude like Nagios, you're too far behind to ever catch up). So, even if my corner of the devops world is completely flawless, I will be basically handing off tickets to another team 100% of the time while my applications that depend upon them suffer the consequences.

According to my boss I already am changing how others do things by showing the power of solid, modern tooling and instrumentation but it's awful hard to tell that any of it makes a difference when you're doing 20-hour days 3 days in a row all for issues you only diagnosed, none that you are directly responsible for.

a good telephoto lens will have about 90-95% MTF at 40 lp/mm in the field center, with a focal distance of 200mm, corresponding to the Nyquist pixel pitch of 1cm at 1000 ft. So hopefully at least 20-50% MTF at double the pixels. hard to tell what's so special here. 1000ft is too little for atmospheric distortion to become a problem.

Well, those who possess a lower IQ are more likely to become obese. So perhaps not understanding the way the universe works is how they wind up obese in the first place. Not too surprising, then, that they would be unable to comprehend how to get themselves out of that state. And there is certainly no shortage of charlatans and mountebanks out there all too ready to lead them astray.

The oil companies could only successfully sue for compensation for being banned from fracking, when the ban only applies to foreign companies, i.e. only when the ban is discriminatory.

PoI is actually my favourite show right now. It's perfect on many levels, from acting to storyline to humour to getting a lot of infosec right. Just few episodes ago they were dropping a ShellShock test...

And it's not just about Snowden leaks. I've been reading a lot on AI topics in past few years, and the show resonates with my interests strongly.

EDIT: even previous week's episode - I thought that people hired to listen to queries spoken to in-show equivalent of Siri was writer's invention, only to learn just few days ago that it is in fact real...
It's not that uncommon among the people who defend free markets (as opposed to the ones who pretend to support it for their own benefits). E.g. Rothbard opposed it, saying that you could have limited liability as a clause in contracts, which could be negotiated (that also implies that you would be fully liable to third-parties you harm, since there's no contract).
Is it worth continuing past the start of the second season?
That's very nice language but the whole point is that commercial entities can challenge what is or isn't a legitimate policy to protect public health or the environment. They shouldn't be able to do that in the first place. They have no such right.

Not to mention that you make it sound like ISDS is a new thing that was marketed ineptly when in fact the notoriety stems from foreign businesses suing counties who tried to reduce trade in asbestos.

And besides, I'm not even sure whether it would be economically wise for a country to always threat foreign business and local business equally. Right now I'm sure many Europeans wish they had more local alternatives to US tech.

It is definitely worth continuing. Third and fourth seasons are amazing - they focus less on the crime-of-the-week and more on the Machine arc. But you get a lot of deep and complex characters in those seasons.

I cannot imagine a policy that, in order to protect public health or the environment, had to discriminate between companies with foreign investors, and those with domestic investors.

Why shouldn't commercial entities be able to sue the government? When a government has agreed to an ISDS agreement (if they hadn't, the agreement wouldn't be in effect), it's only appropriate that they are held accountable to keep up on their promise.

An ISDS agreement is simply about a government promising “We will not discriminate against foreigners (and also don't do a bunch of other terrible stuff, like expropriating foreigners), and if we still do, we will at least compensate them.“

Your definitions of "collectivist", "fascist", "individualist", and for that matter "heuristics" are novel and vacuous. I see in your comment a great deal of ten-dollar words and not a single citation or even a verifiable claim of any sort.

The existence of a democratic government does not begin to mean that "more than half the population wants it to be like this", whatever "this" is. The failings of formal democracy in representing the desires and interests of the population are well-known, and most democratic systems are openly designed to prevent a bare majority from getting everything they want (including ours -- see the Federalist Papers).

Your definition of "fascist" would apply to any sufficiently powerful central government, from Hammurabi to the tsars to the UK parliament. There are numerous working definitions of fascism but all of them recognize that fascism is a reaction to liberal democracy and thus inherently modern. There is also no fascism without militancy, or without nationalism. You also don't seem to see the contradiction to your "heuristic... to pick the one that is more grounded on logic" inherent in your proposed strategy of "accusing ['collectivists'] of fascism".

And your flight of fancy about a "numinous person... pure and incorruptible" wielding "the exalibur of power" (which looks a lot like an argument from pathos to me) has nothing to do with any standard definition of "collectivist". Nor does it have anything to do with "making goods and services cheaper". You yourself admit it's just a slur ("used disdainfully by those that reject the idea"). Mises, Hayek, Marx, none of them used the term this way. Collectivism is a sociological concept, not a political position.

A rationalist should start with observations of reality and proceed from there, not from the axioms which one presumes to be self-evident.
Yes, but peak does not necessarily equal "downfall", it could be the start of a plateau, which can be very consequential, especially for a previously high growth tech company. I'm also using it loosely, it could also, after a while, be followed by another growth period. Or a decline could be slow, Google's business isn't necessarily of the sort where a fall would be quick.
I think there may be a possibility of the terminal itself being slow. Years ago when I used semi transparent terminals in something like enlightenment it was seriously noticeable when you were trying to scroll through text and it'd take a while to appear. Then I switched to using a simple terminal like rxvt and no transparency effects under ion2 and wow was it fast.

So, perhaps the answer is that it's not the editor nor plugins that's slow in the scenario. I think the line numbering even causes some slight slowdown. Anything that actually parses text will obviously cause a performance hit too. I notice slowdowns when I use visual selection modes combined with tricky combos of commands. Even without any of that, it might be possible that the version of vim is doing something stupid like what happens when you open up a 1GB log file in less and hit G. Haven't run an strafe to understand the fseek calls being made but that's been painful without exception in my experience. Perhaps that's what the poster was recalling.

I recommend Fastspring (http://www.fastspring.com). Yes, it's more expensive than others but it has a lot of features that make it worth it.

> It doesn't matter how much money you saved from not having a security guy or the tools they need.

It's the only thing that matters. It's capitalism. Those who waste money on unneccessary expenses get outcompeted by those who don't. Unless you find a way to make companies financially responsible for crappy security, they won't care. Right now breaches like these seem to be more like free advertising (a typical user will just read "something something Uber something hacked" and next week will just have a vague sense Uber was mentioned in the news).
