I've always had people who wanted to learn programming become so bogged down in the tools around programming Bogged down in an editor and a compiler? When first starting out, there are two tools.

Thanks, but I don't follow this. Saving a few keystrokes here and there, and process monitoring (which can be provided for by plenty of other packages ) is sufficient cause to reinvent init? Even if djb's /service claims make

Active in this industry for several decades, and I've yet to hear a convincing argument why kitchen-sink init systems are somehow an improvement over rc.d. Can someone please enlighten me?

Nearly every twin study done in the history of twin studies has demonstrated minimal effects of shared environment on outcomes.

Right, they are not currently affected, because they got advance notice. But it's very likely that Alibaba sat on the vuln for a long time, and Chinese intelligence knew about it. It's prudent to consider all data on ec2 servers

Critical omission from title: obese children. These are kids whose livers are already suffused with fatty tissue, not average kids.

Sure it does. Very large lists of obvious action items flow naturally from the precept of reducing one's dependence on income flow. As an example, at the top of that list would be relocating to a lower cost area. Residing in NYC/S

Parental intelligence is strongly causally coupled with their children's future intelligence simply through their working vocabulary and talkativeness Your statement is correct, but your assumed cause is not. It's 60-80% genes:

Is it really just a matter of money, though? My understanding is that the coherence window (timewise) decreases exponentially as you add more qubits. "Just a matter of money" implies linear scalability.

The article discusses the hypothesis that the NSA has broken ECC classically, and is lying to us. But conspiracy theories aside, does 3072 bit RSA fall along with 256 bit ECC with the same quantum difficulty? Don't you have to have coh

And due to their black-box nature, they are very likely invisibly compromised by the five eyes. Every CEO of a major technology company, including those that manufacture HSMs, is well aware of the lessons taught by Joe Nacchio.

Seems quite the loophole. So a law enforcement agency could, in theory, be able to hire private contractors that then obtain admissible evidence that would otherwise be inadmissible if the LEA did it themselves? Do I understand this correct

This argument doesn't scan at all. Employer's compensation maximum being equal, you'd be able to negotiate a 25-30% higher salary without the recruiter's cut being a part of total compensation.

Costco was giving away 0.6% swipe fees to AMEX. If they accepted AMEX as "just another payment method" without the partnership, that rate would quadruple.
