> The inescapable conclusion is, the supposed differences between white and red wine are imaginary.

The problem is that white/red is a very large grouping of wine. There are very light reds with low tannins that could be hard to tell particularly if served at room temp. There are some robust white wines that fall into this same overlap. In general, red vs. white is normally pretty easy assuming typical red and white wine.

Within these large groupings of white/red there are also other trick wines. Reds where the grape seems like a different grape due the region or wine process. Dry Rieslings are often tricky because most people assume sweet. So non-expert tasters being tricked by trick wines is not really an interesting find.

The problem for most people with wine tasting is it's hard to do it in a way to learn. It's not enough to buy a bottle once/week. In one trip to France, I tasted 100+ wines over a 2 week period. Only when you have wines side by side, day after day do you really start to learn. Sommeliers taste 1000s of wines over many years, taking notes and actively working to learn the flavors.
That America and other countries have allowed the consolidation of media companies to such a degree is a large part of the reason why we're having so many problems today.

It is impossible to know because there is no objective way to price Bitcoin. There's no way to say that all the bitcoin in the world should be worth exactly $x.

It all depends on what the market perception of that drop is: "this is the end, oh fuck, sell everything" or "ooh buying opportunity".
> And if China decides to put sanctions on your fabs, you will just get a $10B microelectronics theme park on your hands because you will have nowhere to sell your chips.

This is already happening. Except that the sanctions came from the US, not from China. The US forced TSMC not to sell to Huawei and other Chinese companies the US put on the entity list. Chinese companies that aren't yet sanctioned, are becoming reluctant to buy chips from foreign suppliers.

What do you mean by "targets"? If people are fined for something they did, then it's not a problem. If they're going to be fined even though they're not guilty, they should be able to challenge it and go to court. Or is it a different situation?
A few old projects of mine (including code, binaries, screenshots and mostly static webpages) are hosted on SourceForge, as are a live demo and stable snapshots of one actively maintained project. None of those use an installer but users may now (quite reasonably) come to expect software, especially software for Windows, to be shady by sheer association with SourceForge.

Now, the stable snapshots could go on Bitbucket and the code's remove origin is already on GitHub. That leaves me with two questions:

1. Where to can I move the old projects that can be reasonably expected to stay up for another decade?

2. Where do I host the live demo? I'd prefer a free or near-free service since this is a not-for-profit FOSS project. I have the option of waiting for my Raspberry Pi to come online [1].

The closest thing to SourceForge in terms of features that I know of is http://developer.berlios.de/. Can anyone share their experiences with it?

They said at night. That's not early in the morning when they're eating a McMuffin and too busy to be doing their real job of driving around. This is at night.

There's probably an equal number of:

* giggling drunkards crossing the street
* jaywalkers who think it's the middle of the night
and obviously no car would be coming
* people who think black is reflective as they walk
into the road to cross a street on a dark road
* giggling people not paying attention
* pedestrians staring at their phones crossing the
street without looking

And

* inattentive drivers
* sleepy drivers
* drivers looking at their cell phone

It's not always the driver's fault, especially in cities where speeds tend to be lower. In some cities, people meandering around inattentively are VERY hard to predict movement of.

Please note, I'm not saying that it's never the driver's fault either; but, the whole situation is a give and take for everyone. No cars in city centers except maybe public transit of some description would be pretty great, I think, in general.
I predicted that, although I bet that they do it earlier. It is surprising that it took them until August 2013.

So.. not the usual price then. I always find the lack of media sophistication interesting. I think it must come from having isolated yourself too much from practical realities. You lose the ability to evaluate what's in front of you and your judgement is impaired.

> "To be clear, The ideas I have in my opinion are not high risk (worst case you break even after a few years)."

It's good to be optimistic, but not naive. The worst case is that none of your ideas will ever generate a single dollar of revenue. Actually, I would even say that the most likely case is that you will never reach break even.

With your naive assumption you can get into unnecessary debt and now the worst case is that you lose all your financial reserves.

> "the better ideas I have cost a lot of initial money to develop even a small proof of concept."

I would think very hard to find a way to validate these ideas without that much of initial money. I am honestly don't trust your judgement now that it is impossible to even test without a lot of money. But if that's really true, it means that you want to build something that requires a lot of deep expertise and/or infrastructure (like a new self-driving drone or a new drug). The only people who get money to work on these kind of projects are researchers within a big company or entrepreneurs with an impressive track record of success (think Elon Musk).

So maybe these ideas are not for you.

Hahahahahaha oh man they actually wrote that.

Sorry for the useless comment, but I just wonder how many companies got conned into basing their printing infrastructure on yet another Google experiment.

I don't think it really matters, of course. Android phones have a full set of manufacturer-specific printing drivers which work fine over the local network, and geofft noted upthread that ChromeOS has CUPS now. Internet printing is gone now, I suppose, but who used that?!
I ran it against a few servers I'm responsible for. I'm not impressed.

I got a large number of reports for a Debian system running Apache. These were all old vulnerabilities where fixes were backported to Debian's packages, so these are false positives. Also got a warning for another server about the recent XMSS issue in OpenSSH, which is code that is disabled by default (and disabled on the scanned server).

It seems all this tool does is some kind of version matching (i.e. "a CVE has been reported for version x.y.z of software A, so a server running x.y.z is vulnerable"). This is a poor proxy for the actual existence of a vulnerability. It's not a "vulnerability scanner" in a sense that it actually tests for the presence of a vulnerability.

(Full disclosure: Just copied over my comment I posted on reddit earlier today)
> This is by no means comprehensive, but as a (probably thought) experiment, try writing reasonable complex code without variable name completion.

So why don't math tools have variable name completion ? and/or why insist on still doing things on paper in 2019 ?

The other things about variable names is that they force you to think about what a variable actually contains. This in itself is very helpful not only for others reading your work, but also for yourself when trying to grasp a problem.

If citizenship, or lack thereof, prevents someone from moving to another location in order to work from there, then equal pay across those borders doesn't make sense. But California vs Idaho (states in the US)... they should have equal pay.
I'm sorry but what does that mean "developer focused payment processing"? From the SaaS provider perspective - less time I spend on integration with such thing is better.
"Developer focused payment processing" suggests rich API with high learning curve. Not really compelling value prop...

I think counting calories you eat is oversimplified anyways. If I do activity, or intermittent fasting or anything that influences the metabolism, that has a big impact. Like living in a house with stairs. How old you are. A ton of other things.

But there's evidence that there was a substantial Greenland walrus-ivory trade in the 1300s.

"The high value that medieval Europe placed on walrus ivory would have provided plenty of incentive to pursue it in Greenland. Craftsmen used ivory in luxury ornaments and apparel, and in objects like the famous Lewis chess set, discovered in Scotland in 1831. In 1327, an 802-kilogram parcel of Greenland tusks was worth a small fortune—the equivalent of roughly 780 cows or 60 tons of dried fish...."

I've often suggested this to the chagrin of relatively equally wealthy people (people earning 0.5-2x what I earn) . We're all living the same life, just with different levels of shiny.

One drives a used corolla, the other a new one, the 3rd a lexus (made by toyota still). Each has a house with varying levels of pretty etc.

The 0.01% is living in an existence far removed from us. They dont play games of wondering which car has the lowest TCO or signals a little status etc. Instead they're playing power games and games of access to things that go beyond the ability to pay for them.

> It seems odd that you don't dispute that companies change, yet seem to dislike people trying to make a company change.

I don’t “dislike” people trying to make a company change. There are ways to change companies from within, discreetly, by building consensus around those things you would like to change. It isn’t easy, and there is no guarantee of success. Often people trying to do exactly that end up losing their positions, or end up not advancing, as a result of being “out of step” with the culture.

That doesn’t appear to be what’s happening here at all, though. You have employees trying to publicly exert pressure on management. You cannot do that and expect no consequences.
> Lisp clings onto the parenthesis thing while claiming the parenthesis thing doesn't matter.

Of course it matters; it just doesn't matter in the sense of not being a problem.

Your argumentation is rooted in drifting across different semantics of the phrase "doesn't matter".
But here's the thing: They don't disclose that they'll check for updates before asking for permission.

This is a joke. If anything this incident demonstrates bitcoin's resiliency. The drop in value has not been catastrophic, and other exchanges seem to have done a find job of picking up the slack.
I think security is going to be a persistent issue for bitcoin, but once bitcoin services become more sophisticated will fade as an issue over time.
Venture capital is only involved with a fraction of development in Silicon Valley. It may be a large and very loud fraction, but it is still just a fraction. On top of that these well known attention getting firms are just another fraction of the whole. Again, very large and loud, but still just a component.

Just to call out one potentially interesting exception, much medical device development goes on in Silicon Valley. Medical development is much less sexy because it tends to be used as needed and is typically only marketed to medical providers. Medical devices need to function rigorously and demand for radical new developments is moderated by pervasive caution. As a result there is not a great deal of Saudi money in medical device development, or at least not in an obvious and influential way.

So the headline is way off. People would be well served by dealing with Silicon Valley as if it were something big and complex with many involve inputs and factors rather than something simple that you can recognize immediately because you access the Internet on a laptop and can do some basic research.

Great article. I try to stay in top of tech, economy, and politics at the global level but I must say this subject never crossed my radar before.
The 33% of the population you talk about are foreign gastarbeiter, not Saudis. Certainly they deserve better treatment and an end to the controls compared to slavery. However, even if gastarbeiter were free, they would not necessarily be entitled to the welfare state that Saudis enjoy; it is common even in free countries that foreign workers have limited recourse to benefits.

And again, in solving the problem of exploited laborers in these countries, one must simultaneously avoid any drop in the local population's standard of living, because that will only breed resentment. I can see that my post above has offended some readers, but can't we learn lessons from the past and avoid e.g. another Iran?

Definitely. A sillier example, I find Minecraft can be useful to get me back in the zone if I'm feeling unfocused. Building systems and overcoming design limitations does require thought. Having to concentrate on something that's easy to concentrate on helps get you in the right "mode" so to speak.

Reddit, however, I find draining. There's always a risk of getting sea lioned by a particularly toxic user. Conversation tends to be very one-sided also.
Regardless of the length, passwords are obsolete, at least when used in single factor systems. The biggest problem with authentication is identity assurance, an attribute that passwords simply don't possess. Better and more factors are necessary to provide true security in the future, and we're simply making due with passwords in the meanwhile. Phishing and Firesheep are ready examples of the weakness of passwords, and they're not even the easiest methods of compromise available. Passwords have a use, but so do other forms of security-by-obscurity, a category that passwords will inevitably fall into.
A cheap VPS with any FTP daemon will do the trick. The usernames of something@somethingelse.com are a 'feature' of basically every shared hosting environment.
