What do you suggest? Often people take issue with the color scheme, which is understandable, a default theme for an open source project needs to find a reasonable balance between good enough to use and ugly enough that people want to change it. It's important that people have the desire to "brand" their node, so as to avoid confusion.

Appleseed is fully themable using CSS, and keeps a clear separation between logic and presentation, so any designer can make it look any way they'd like.

However, if you're speaking more to the actual user interface, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on what you find to be an issue.
Here's to hoping that that time will decrease to 'near realtime' and that all governments will live in a glass cage.

Hopelessly naive ? Maybe, but I think that it would take something like that to get some honesty in politics.
I truly believe that an event oriented social network is the best use of the social web I can think of.
Yes, but they're a distraction. The visuals aren't the point. At the end of the day the novelty wears off and the practitioner continues forward.
It can never be "unlimited" because there is always a limit to how much data you can transfer in a month, given a theoretical maximum bandwidth of x Mbps for 4G networks (actual achieveable transfer speed even less). The correct term is "unmetered".
I'd like to buy it once for a fixed price, use the heck out of it, and purchase an upgrade offered to me as a loyal customer, when it happens, if I want to.

Milking money out of me on a regular basis, adding to a line-item in my budget, feels predatory - as a developer, this turns me off because it doesn't actually benefit me in any way - I'm paying for your inability to fund yourself through multiple iterations of software development cycles. Put a fixed price on the product, charge for upgrades when - and most importantly: if - they happen, and it would be a done deal in my case. But right now, I don't want to have to deal with your regular charge against my credit card. Too much hassle, and you haven't been in business/released enough software, long enough for me to believe its going to be worth a year of charges.
So I don't know about this. One day an article showing falling numbers and predicting the demise of the blackberry and another day another article showing excellent sales numbers and predicting...well, nothing really.

It's only logical that the blackberry will reach a market limit within the already mature markets but will expand in international ones where its presence is relatively new.

Blackberry does have the money and R&D chops to innovate before its demise(if that will ever happen). People have been saying the same thing about Microsoft for the past 15 years.
Works for me. Maybe clearing your cookies would do the trick?
by that я in his email. :)

no-one can put я and sign as The Russian except Russians.

Tapping a panel to gain focus seems like the most asinine UI decision of all time. Even in the video you could see the user trying to use a panel before tapping it. Just a terrible flow-breaker. Otherwise, everything looks ok. Once actual reviews come out, I think they will sell quite a few of these.
Awesome. I think its a great idea. I've enjoyed being part of the FB group for people hacking on november / monthly projects. The more community and exposure we can build the better it is for everyone hacking on projects. Have followed on twitter, look forward to reading more.
“In other words, since people who own [property] aren’t actually responsible for it increasing or decreasing in value, it’s pretty absurd that they get to accrue all the benefits of owning [property] without having to do any work for it.”
And, there you have it.
It's fast, but I figured doing that on both sides before adding looked a bit inelegant and maybe it could be avoided by doing "something something bit operations" and then I dropped the thought and clicked the link.
No, not personally, I do have 2 on life long treatments. But I was being too hyperbolic and I don't doubt your story.

I'm just extrapolating incentives. Is there any incentive to cure (invoice once), when they can treat (life long invoices)? Certainly scorn is irrelevant as OPs comment suggests they're unwilling to work on rare diseases. And these companies are public. They have shareholders that expect them to constantly grow.

I don't believe it's a stretch to say, at the very least, the incentive is there.
I've often made one gallon batches of mead; it's pretty simple, and wine (if you don't get too fancy) is a similar level of difficulty.

IME, one gallon batches about two hours of work from start to a clean kitchen. Five gallon batches take much longer to cool after boiling, so are a much bigger headache.
They’re required to have a safety driver at the wheel (hands on wheel) in case the driver needs to intervene. The car is driving itself but it is hard to tell. You can tell because they don’t act like a California driver, more like a friendly Canadian or a slightly timid Oregonian. If something unexpected happens you can see the human taking control. I’ve seen them a couple hundred times but only once or twice when I think the safety driver is taking over.
The cheap option of going out of our way to do less (so we emit less) is very probably off the table at this point.

As a species we need another plan. I like a mixed approach of sequestering atmospheric gasses via processes that synthesize useful compounds from the components we don't want in the air as well as hard scifi concepts like giant reflective surfaces in space. Throttling the quantity of sunlight by reflecting a portion away from the earth sounds super expensive... but that might be the only viable option left.
bitcoin is almost to $50,000. Clearly lots of people have trust in bitcoin, I certainly dont to be clear.

Bitcoin shouldnt be compared to fiat currency but rather metals like silver and gold. It's an investment strategy if you expect the traditional investments to crash and burn.

How can the stock market be doing well when everyone is locked down or social distancing and not consuming. It's mandatory low consumer confidence.

We do know for a fact we have another global recession and high unemployment. My country's state news only a few months ago was saying that covid-19 internment camps are disinformation: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/covid-19-internment-camps-d...

But then was forced to reveal the truth about the one in calgary but we know there are many others: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-hotel-quarant...

My country has stopped revealing how much money they are spending: https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/money-supply-m0

https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/central-bank-balance-she...

Our private debt to gdp is insanity: https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/private-debt-to-gdp

So our government is hiding financial numbers. We do know our debt situation is now worse than Greece at it's worse. We have internment camps and our 2 week lockdown is effectively going on 1 year now. My city has effectively gone into lockdown and never reversed course in any appreciable way. We are all in our own internment camps.

No wonder bitcoin is sky high.
I thought I'd have a quick look at a couple of the pages online to see if there was anything of interest. Several hours later... I've read most of the later chapters and a few of the earlier ones and already learned more about graphics programming and low-level code optimisation than I imagined possible. What an incredible book!
Wow.. This was cut off and not editable... What mobile client for iOS is good as there was a whole story here in the client i'm using and it just posted this :(
Thanks for posting this, I used to compete in bodybuilding and tore my left quad tendon 6 months ago. It's just now really starting to feel like a normal leg again. The recovery sucks, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
>>I think Heroku users value their time above all else. There's much cheaper ways to host your Rails apps. This tool allows Heroku users to save money while not having to spend days getting their autoscaling stuff working and tested.

Then charge more!!!

I mean, you just said it yourself, your target market values time over money. Don't try to compete on price then. right? :)
I don't know if I agree with you or not. 8coupons.com counted 180 Groupon "clones" so far. How do you stand out in that kind of crowd if you're all playing the same game?
There really should be a comparison to something other than java, it doesn't seem fair.
the why is that the stats provider calls the same behavior two different words - what they used to call blogging (livejournal) they now call social networking (facebook)
maybe someone has a phone number or e-mail address from someone in charge of those kind of decisions.
Note that Netflix does not use AWS for streaming.
You are right. However, I don't think Yahoo's track record in integrating acquired companies helped them at all. Google is perceived as an innovative company where Yahoo seems to follow the leader.
Anyone know what face recognition system they are using? Is it from face.com?
There was a brief period of time when the tabs did extend to the very top of the screen in Opera, but they changed it back to this. Presumably to make it easy to drag the window around.

I don't actually use the tabs to click on, so this is fine for me. I always switch by holding down my right mouse button and spinning the scroll wheel.
I don't know where you got this idea. VW sells twice as many cars in China than it does in Europe.

If it is, then that means Coinbase can create new "Bitcoin" on demand; which we both know that it cannot do.

In your own source, the banks ability to increase money supply through the multiplier effect is capped by the capital adequacy ratios, which are defined by the Fed. It is also an inevitability of any currency that isn't backed by an asset. To be clear, I don't have problems with the concept of fiat currencies, but we have to be honest about what it actually is and how it works, and how Bitcoin is different.
I'm was in the same boat a couple of years ago. One email to support fixed the issue for me.
People usually forget the fact that there was a reason why central bank or regular banks were created in the first place. It seems like the reason(s) still exist, hence Coinbase or any other crypto-exchanges are in demand.
I would think an inspection interval should be shorter than an overhaul interval. But I don't know how they do it.
Ah, all these locations where security is an afterthought
No money creation at banks is not controlled by central bank monetary policy. And it’s very easy to create new crypto assets. Bitcoin has gone from 100% to 60% of crypto market cap in the past 5 years - that’s 10% “inflation”
Konsole lets you turn on notifications after X seconds of activity or X seconds of inactivity, and these two options are conveniently accessible in the Show menu. I just noticed that there is also a "Monitor for Process Finishing", this must be new :-)
People hate public transportation for the same reasons they hate traffic jams. Cars are freedom and control. It doesn't matter that driving 10 minutes to the store is the same as waiting 10 minutes for the subway. And once I'm at the store, I can go wherever, I'm not stuck by the physical nature of the public infrastructure. I will say that cities should just not allow cars in most areas. If you really want to leverage the benefits and efficiencies of cities, you have to go all in.
Theoretically, my goal wouldn't be to influence debate. It would be to find places where thoughtful individuals discuss ideas like this that have an anti-current-government-position bent, and not put forth well reasoned thoughtful arguments. Instead I'd just throw out, en masse, the same tired fearmongering comments, surveillence apologist comments, accuse snowden of being a traitor, anything that would make the pro-democracy elements of this site feel like they are in the minority, or unwelcome. Then they leave, or comment less. Movement destroyed. A slew of garbage one liners about protecting freedom or trusting the secret ultra-powerful decision makers and all of a sudden anyone who has anything intelligent to say feels like, "why bother. This isn't the place for me, obviously. Maybe noone agrees with me."

Actually changing someone's mind through argument is almost impossible. On the internet I'd say it is impossible. So don't change minds, just make the people who disagree with you feel like the whole world is against them when actually they're in the majority.
This seems super powerful. Nice to see a new approach in lowering the technical bar for building web apps over flow programming. I'd be really interested to see what culture this creates in technical orgnisations. Allows devs to focus on pure-play stuff and integration teams to really hear what operations team needs.

Looking forward to seeing OAuth/OpenID.
I think I'd even take it a step further and not rely on the fact that it's been imported (which sounds a bit fragile and language specific). The number of times I have a new local that I don't want to add is far far smaller than the number of times I have a new local file that I forgot to add, so I'd want to be warned whenever I'm pushing with unstaged local files.

We use a git hook for this currently and it's super useful.
That doesn't exactly sell me on MySQL, sounds like a recipe for disaster
Exactly. Surprised more people are not asking this.

I'm guessing they can't really OS their ML pipeline, or training data... so essentially they'd just be releasing the pre-trained ML model and the codec framework?

Perhaps legal / privacy issues with that? Not sure.

I can't see why they would... it would give them a huge competitive advantage on "Internet 3.0" which is live streaming and Zoom-like video conferences.
The "highest selling single computer model" of all time was not called the Commodore 65.536, it was called the Commodore 64.

As was the common convention, all advertising materials, all reviews, all documentation and all common understanding was that the 64 in its title represented 64KB as in Kilobytes.

This same convention, for MB = Megabytes, and GB = Gigabytes and all of these representing powers of 2 (no matter how "incorrect" that may be), was proliferated through the overwhelming majority of advertising, commentary and documentation both previously through the 70's, and through the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

This was the convention commonly understood for the many-decades-long duration of the birth of modern computing.

To attempt to change it after decades of intrenchment for the "technically correct" version and gain loads of confusion, and almost nothing in return, is a bad value proposition.
> How good are these shoes exactly to justify all this effort and $220 price tag?

The same question would apply to those spending over $220 on mechanical keyboards: these keyboards are good, but not k times better than the keyboard that come with your laptop.

Yet people buy them: there's certainly a fashion effect, but they must also be at least a bit good, or good enough to justify the pricetag and effort to buy them.

If you have disposable income, you care about comfort. I haven't heard of your "good year welted shoes" and a google search returns something horrible looking (unless you are over 60 or have to wear a suit maybe?)

The yeezys look good to me, and I've heard a lot of people praise their comfort. Will they be better than the $150 limited ed sneakers I currently wear? That's all I care about about!

> For the resale price of these sneakers you can get shoes that will serve you for the rest of your life

I never understood that approach. $220, $500 ... it's just a price. I'm likely to make another $220 in the rest of my life :)

So if they looks good, feel better, and I can afford them, why the hell not?
Would it be reasonable for a restaurant to know about every other restaurant you visit? And every store you look at, and every newspaper article you read?
Not really. You're just gambling/risk taking in a different way. It's like a waterbed. Push down the risk in one place, pops up in another.
Both fiat currency and Bitcoin are backed by the same thing: mass belief. An incredibly powerful thing.
Not necessarily. In the past, there were also reports which showed, that if the Facebook App is installed on the same device, it would have access to the decrypted messages (not sure for which platform though).
Not every server needs to understand it. Only the ones wanting to participate. If you choose to filter by PoW and a server does not provide PoW, you will still receive all of its emails just flagged as spam. So email PoW roll out can work iteratively.
I'm not sure if you're making a joke or what, but why would Hacker News count as a source? It is a bunch of semi-anonymous comments on aggregated stories (which might not even be news). It absolutely should not even be considered as a source.

I just think a big issue is that people are ignorant about how to recognize and what it means to be a primary source vs secondary source vs opinion based in fact vs opinion based on falsehood vs something pulled out of thin air.

I've too often seen people on here make "arguments", citing only some unsourced op-ed piece to back up their claim, as if it means anything. It's exhausting.
I'm not sure that cutting off people's heat in the middle of winter is the most politically viable option.
John Oliver was only hired on the daily show in July 2006. 2006 was a year full of evidence and disclosures of voting machine security issues. Do you have a bias?

> I think it's really interesting how you can completely flip people's reaction to a scenario by flipping one variable, and the people perceive themselves to be perfectly logical. The human mind is such a mystery.
For country specific things (US included) can we put the country in the post title? I guessed this was UK but many people won't.
Consider that there are a lot of highly automated email senders that this will never fly for. From small websites/businesses to large (and especially gargantuan!) are more and more likely to contract out email delivery to a specialized provider (e.g. SendGrid, Mandrill/Mailchimp, etc).

Even if you focus on transactional emails only (e.g. signup/order verification, password resets, billing notifications, etc) where users are implicitly or explicitly opted in... the amount of mail volume involved is massive.

Given that this is a pure overhead charge, you can be sure that email providers are going to pass the cost on to the senders (e.g. whoever owns the relationship with the end-user). The larger that organization is the more likely they'll build that into the cost of the product and pass it down to the user.

SPF/DKIM/etc are a huge help. Even when spammers use it correctly it provides reliable attribution for establishing (or rather, destroying) reputation for the domain involved. I would love to see something more and think your intuition is good: an increase to the cost of send email is more likely to weed out illegitimate/unwanted messages.
Can we just designate the United States of America as a rogue state and sanction the fuck out of them already? << Insert numerous citations >>.

Interesting. Does anybody here have experience with PRQ or easyDNS, two sites that are often mentioned in connection Wikileaks et. al.?

This is a great question, thanks for asking it!
The post doesn't say anything about innovation which is the key part of technology entrepreneurship.

If one can't innovate and create something radically new and efficient, then yes, he should probably stick with traditional business models and limit his ambitions to small markets, slow growth and modest returns focusing on efficient execution.

And there's more to it. Good engineers could do much better if they join an existing ambitious startup rather than if they convert to a small software workshop owners.
It's funny, over the last week I've repeatedly come across things from people working at RAD Game Tools. It looks like they've got quite a good group of people working there.
Have you seen that X-Bows is pre-selling their 3rd generation, now programmable with QMK?

Sorry to see they've been hit. There is some historical value to their data, and I hope they manage to recover it somehow.

I wonder if there's any risk GOG was compromised as well. That could be an impressive watering hole attack...

Even if the execs have said information, I believe it would be legal for them to pick a team to decide when to sell more stock, where that team doesn't have access to anything non-public.

The execs can then delegate the decision to the team without the knowledge, which would be legal (I think!).
Mechanical, chemical, regulating temperature, regulating flow, regulating speed. Imagine chemical X reached 10C over the recommended and starts a chain reaction. Or imagine sensors going offline. I was once working on a food-producing factory, and we had our shares of accidents, though not lethal. Any type of machinery with fluctuating power supply may be dangerous unless there are automated killswitches, release valves, etc. in place.
That fab in Texas was the one used to manufacture the early Apple A-series processors. The media and most pundits generally assumed they were made in South Korea, because Samsung.
> I fail to see why something that would be almost universally demanded could stay outside of common reach forever.

You fail to see how the elite would keep advances letting them live longer/healthier for them ? You probably don't have a very fruitful imagination then. What about a 250 years old Jeff Bezos ? 250 years old Putin ? The only limit to these people is literally ageing and being mortal

Do you think people who aren't able to live decently and afford food at every meal in 2021's America would be offered a "longer and healthier life" pill ? Do you think people dying in 2021's America of diabetes because they can't afford insulin would be offered a "longer and healthier life" pill ?

> You are literally writing this on a device that 50 years ago would cost millions. It somehow trickled down to you and me.

If you fail to see the moral difference between typing on a computer and "curing ageing"... I don't know what to say to be honest
The cost to produce is not equal to the value of the work.

The only thing of value would be source code / data dumps of the store. That potentially can be exploited.

Anything else is pretty worthless. The systems in the game and artefacts likely don't meet the requirements for a game your building. Anything you use opens you up to do a law suit. Might as well spend $1M legitimately producing the game.
I don't think you can get treatment for your terminal cancer in the emergency room unless somebody stabbed you in it.
For me, it'd be like "virtual-parent.com! No need to be a parent to your kids, just point them at this website and we'll be their parent for you".

If you want less stress, or to calm down, the last thing you should be doing is staring at a computer screen. Go outdoors. Exercise. Meet real people.
