Indeed, and there is an even darker side to this, which is what you get when the government starts selectively enforcing these ridiculous laws. Play ball with the oligarchy, and they'll ignore that you didn't bother to go through all various red tape stuff (because no one can actually meet all those requirements and stay in business). Pose a threat to them, and find your property confiscated and very likely facing criminal charges. This is Oppression 101, first week. I challenge anyone to find an unequivocally oppressive regime which does not engage in this tactic.

I'm not totally disagreeing with the article, because these tactics can be useful as long as you keep the long-term goal in mind: overturning stupid or onerous legislation. But if in doing this you foster a culture which does not respect rule of law, you most definitely will not challenge the legitimacy of the really oppressive regimes - rather, you will enable them.
Yup. Memory sticks are the new tape (in the volatile storage hierarchy). Definitely potential for (re-)proliferation of NUMA optimizations.

The questions are whether G/CPUs have:

- multiple or single SKUs for on-package RAM capacities

- addon RAM ability via sticks, sockets and/or surface-mount

I see this issue has been discussed on the FreeBSD lists on occasion, but I can't find it on the sshuttle list in the four years of archives I've got. I also don't see a reference to this in the README.md in the original project.

The threads I have managed to find largely amount to "it doesn't work." Are you aware of anywhere the specific details of the issue are posted (debug logs from sshuttle, packet captures, etc.)?

The officials may also take the opportunity to move against political rivals, or other threats and undesirables, under cover of laws which most people don't follow. Selective enforcement, in other words.

Among the many interesting things in this story is the reaction of the show producers and how different things were back then.

I don't know why you think missing exits is in any way indicative of someone's intelligence. I've missed plenty of exits, and let me inform you of something: it's not a big deal. Like, at all.

I remember reading this in an advert for International Paper when it first came out. It's absolutely wonderful, and one of the most readable things I've ever seen from Vonnegut.
Unary representation differs from better bases in one very important regard: a base-n representation of a number uses n symbols, and you write the number as the coefficients of a power series in n. The n symbols you use are the natural numbers m such that 0 <= m < n.

But in a unary representation, the only number you could represent that way is 0. Instead, a unary system uses as coefficients the natural numbers m such that 0 < m <= 1. An immediate consequence is that there's no way to represent zero.

(In "unary-style" binary, you'd count like this: 1, 2, 11, 12, 21, 22, 111, 112... . The constraint that none of your coefficients can be zero (because it doesn't exist) makes the representation unique. If you're willing to use infinite representations along with finite ones, you could then represent zero in two's complement as ...111112, that is, one more than -1.)

> They will have trouble with the ES6 code and they might have trouble with the ES5 JS produced as output.

Source maps made this practically a non-issue. If you can add gulp (or grunt) into your workflow (along with node/npm) then you can slowly add in things like babel without most people having to care. The nice thing about babel is you can run ES5 code through it without issue so you can ease into ES6 very easily. We just made the transition at the place I work and it took about 8 months to go from just JS/CSS to node/npm, gulp (sourcemaps, concat, minify, css/js processors, previous manual build steps, etc), SCSS, and bower. The majority of our JS is still ES5 (and needs cleanup) but we are are making good progress moving over to ES6 and taking advantage of our new build process. I won't say it has been a painless transition, the new tools rather than code were a sticking point and we started by running gulp on the prod server (from an svn checkout) but now have it build on a build server and then (using gulp) package itself up in a tar.gz and put in a place that our deploy scripts pull from. I got quite a few "Why is none of the css/js loading?" (needing to run "gulp build") and I don't blame them, most of them don't need to write JS much so having to run "npm install/gulp build" on each checkout before doing development was annoying but hopefully now they see the benefits and we've done our best to make the process as simple as possible as well as using gulp to reduce a number of other pain points.
Sigh. You can't blame hardware when it's an as-new MBPr. Every Mac lover seems to blame it on something else when it is just a crappy OS that is the root cause.

On Windows it is extremely rare - maybe once a year, but you'd have to be a power user for sure. On Mac, it is usually a weekly occurrence. Hell, I had it happen last night in fact just by trying to mount a DMG file (a freshly downloaded TeamViewer DMG if you must know). It decided to go to the beach instead. After a full reboot it finally let me mount it. It really is a joke of an OS.

If you're not familiar with Windows IO then why try to cobble together a response? It is true that the Windows kernel does not support anything but asynchronous IO. It simply does not support it. Yes, user-mode land implements synchronous wrappers as a convenience for lazy developers or to aid in porting software from other lesser platforms.
I think it's important to recognize that he still assumed some risk with each spin. That risk was reduced from 1/6 to some much smaller number, but the risk was not zero. His concentration or timing could fail on any given spin, as evidenced by his final spin where he mistimed it but got lucky.

My point is that I don't think you can say he was cheating. He played within the rules of the game and couldn't just drain cash out of the system forever.
Your government feeds your kids when your career get "disrupted" by another American company, maybe they took your jerbs but they pay taxes that goes into a pot that helps other Americans.

Excellent Aeon article on randomness in decisionmaking:

http://aeon.co/magazine/philosophy/is-the-most-rational-choi...

When your reasons are worse than useless, sometimes the most rational choice is a random stab in the dark

As moderns, we take it for granted that the best decisions stem from a process of empirical analysis and informed choice, with a clear goal in mind. That kind of decision-making, at least in theory, undergirds the ways that we choose political leaders, play the stock market, and select candidates for schools and jobs. It also shapes the way in which we critique the rituals and superstitions of others. But, as the Kantu’ illustrate, there are plenty of situations when random chance really is your best option. And those situations might be far more prevalent in our modern lives than we generally admit.

The math nerd's winning at Las Vegas casinos probably brings more profit in terms of suckers that read "bringing down the house" and an introductory black-jack counting book then they could cost ever them.

Basic statistics. There are two factors at work here that obscure the real data:

1. The data is smoothed. Set the smoothing to 0 to see the real data.

2. The data is not absolute, but relative (note it's %) to the entire body of data Google has available for that year. The further back you go, the less overall data is available. I suspect strongly that the spikes you see are merely years where very few books overall are available.

If you want to convince someone that a lottery is a bad bet, you have to convince them that working and investing is a better investment for them: it's irrelevant that it's a better investment for the public as a whole. And the people who market lotteries know that, and choose who they target based on that. You'll see more ads for lotteries on the subway than you will in an in-flight magazine.

> The professor says, "There is a perception that immigrants hurt wages. But lots of studies now show that is not true." This statement went completely undisputed, it was reported as fact.

This seems almost universal. Do you know of a media outlet that doesn't do this?

I would genuinely like to know because this infuriates me. When organization/government/company X is caught up in controversy, if I wanted to hear what they have the say, I would read their press release. What I want to know when I consume news is: who is lying to me?

All too often there are two people who are claiming contradictory facts. Any news outlet that reliably and consistently tells me which one is the liar gets my eyes and ears.

I suspect it is related to the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883...

According to the OED, effusive was used in GEOLOGY in the late 19th century. One particular reference in the extended entry is enlightening:

1888 F. H. Hatch in J. J. H. Teall Brit. Petrogr. 429 Effusive, a term lately used abroad for those rocks which have been poured out at the surface, the word eruptive now being generally used for the whole group of massive rocks.

As noted, Krakatoa erupted in 1883. It was massive in sheer destructive force (though not quite as bad as Tambora in 1815, which remains the deadliest in recorded history). Still, it was a global phenomenon.

Adding "krakatoa" to ngram reveals that it may just be tied to the spike, though perhaps this is just correlation.

Here's another thing to keep in mind: Me losing $5 on a lottery ticket has a lot less impact on me than winning $1,000,000.

So, while the expected return is negative, it's only marginally negative. And if I do manage to win, the outcome is hugely positive.

"TED’s is the language and tone of the pitch. It’s a style that comes from corporate conference rooms, where product ideas are pitched to potential investors."

Someone in HN linked this in a previous discussion about TED, but especially with that quote in the piece it's even more a dead-on satire home run from the Onion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tom6_ceTu9s Part of a series though my impression was that it's the same basic joke over and over... still, for at least one iteration, it's dead-on, and this is probably the most pure illustration of just the form in that series, with no content, for the author's point.
Know any places to work in NY? I've been thinking of moving to Brooklyn myself.
The absurdity of TED is not its content, and I think any critique of its content is wildly misplaced. There's actually some OK stuff there if you ask me. The absurdity of TED is any claim that they're doing anything particularly innovative when it comes to curation. It just feels like your average medium impact journal using a video format and publishing to youtube.
> I will be crass: the most interesting thing about Bratton’s talk is that in the early minutes of the lecture, just as he has delivered his main thesis, he suddenly forgets what he is supposed to say. There is a pause. It would be perfectly natural in another format to wait and gather one’s thoughts, but the pause is strangely disturbing in this context. He loses his place, then his nerve, and for the rest of the talk he struggles under an invisible weight. He has to heave a breath into each sentence, trying to propel himself into a rhythm that he doesn’t regain until the very end. What he is struggling under is the pressure of the TED style.

That is, in fact, who the strife was between.

The police are the government. And, in the case of Baltimore, where the triggering event was murder by police as part of an extended pattern of physical abuse by police, its pretty clear that they were the proximately responsible part of government.

To the extent that there are a myriad of other factors, including other government policies, which could be argued on to have contributed less proximately, they were widely discussed by the media
With usb3 and the ara project, there's a possible window for an 'ATX' standard for portable devices to exist. Tiny connectors, form factors over usb or pcie. It's not a big market.

I think it obvious that he did not sort the bills. The article say that he and his wife spend all their time going through stacks of bills, stopping only to eat and bathe (and they couldn't even check all the money in time).

There are only two places where the URL should be stored. Anywhere else is an issue with the plugin or theme storing them incorrectly. Both are contained within the wp_options table for home URL and site URL. Those are the only values required to be changed.
