My M1 Mac Mini destroys my 2019 16” Macbook Pro (i7). both machines have a 16 GB memory load out and 500 GB of SSD. I haven’t seen any of the performance issues you’re talking about. I do Python and Angular development.
Moved to signal today, plenty of people in my contacts are following suit (was way easier than I thought). I've never had a facebook account, had WhatsApp before facebook bought them. I will also have to jailbreak or dump my oculus quest if they force me to sign up.
As others on this thread have mentioned, full-blown OCD is considerably more serious than it's commonly portrayed. It's as serious a health condition as other mental illnesses like depression or bipolar disorder.

Cracked.com, of all places, wrote an excellent article on the subject of what actual real-life OCD is like:
http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-things-no-one-tells-you-about-...

"Imagine the feeling of having a song stuck in your head. Now imagine that instead of "It's Raining Men," it's the thought of murdering your best friend. In graphic detail. Over and over again. You're not mad at your best friend, and you've never done anything violent, but it won't stop playing.

You probably feel kind of shitty just reading that. But that's what the "obsessive" part of OCD is like: intrusive, unwanted, disturbing thoughts that won't go away. "

For more information and details of what is or isn't OCD, the OCD subreddit is apparently surprisingly good: http://www.reddit.com/r/OCD

I'm sure that OP didn't mean anything hostile by his/her use of the term. Given it's commonly misunderstood, and that causes genuine suffering, it's worth bringing the nature of OCD up when it's discussed in this fashion!
Yes please, can we?
Is there data to support the claim that working class people are more (or less) socially conservative than others?
> They believe what they want to believe, hear what they want to hear, see what they want to see.

> nobody is tied down in a chair and forced to watch certain TV shows or listen to certain radio shows for hours, days, weeks, months at a time, to the exclusion of all else.

Doesn’t this behaviour sound familiar? To me it sounds like addiction. What has changed is not our capacity to become addicted but the willingness of some to exploit this weakness for money and/or power. From the internet outrage generators to the social media outrage amplifiers. The addictiveness of outrage is now fully weaponised by those who have fully succumbed to the addictiveness of power and money. No handbrakes. No filters. No conscience. Lots of self denial, self delusion, self-justification.

The collision of these two addictions will destroy us if not unwound.

EDIT: auto-correct correction.
You are making the case that if I cannot disprove any religious text, then by default, it's information and not misinformation even though it flies in the face of observable reality. That isn't really how we look at things.

Everything is misinformation until proven otherwise.

The bigger and grander the claim, the higher the burden of proof. With a bird, the claim ain't exactly grand, and I'm willing to take you at your word. On the other hand if you told me a bird flew over your head, turned into a plane and wrote "I'm Your Lord and Savior" in skywriting, well, I'm gonna need more than just your word on it.
One big advantage of this is how easy is it to use.
Once you install a fresh Ubuntu system, just install the package:

sudo apt install git etckeeper

and you are done! postinst script will create /etc/.git, set up sane exclusions, add existing files, commit. In most cases, no action is needed -- the changes are commited before and after package install, as well every night.

This is like the ideal backup system -- trivial install, no user interaction, and uses standard tools to view backups.
Eh, the apple article explicitly says other platforms soon. With all of apples recent anti trust issues I expect that to be less than a month or two or they could be accused harming smaller companies again by favoring stripe.
My uncle raised his kids similarly, "they have to always be doing something!" with the side effect being that they sunk thousands of hours into learning skills that served no intellectual/real life purpose (beyond team building), and took time away from their actual interests. One was interested in building drones, but spent his time hitting balls with a stick, instead. Anytime I need someone to hit things with sticks, I call him. I haven't had to yet, but one of these days!

Every success story, intellectual or not, involves passion and time. I'll never comprehend the mindset that completely prevents a kid from experiencing both.
Just reading the duties of his assistant makes you realize you should really reserve the word Genius for a few. And he certainly was one of them:

Around here (Eastern Europe too) people insulate their houses pretty well for a very long time. 2 weeks ago I had a power outage (heating was also off) for a day and the temperature inside was pretty good (~18C) when outside it was freezing.

We also used to use a lot of wood in stoves for heating and in most rural areas this is the main way to heat up at winter, can't you do the same? $400 for heating looks a bit too high, with a few thousand dollars you can insulate a small house if you do it yourself.
Only 50% of people can say that
Agreed and per person the Chinese actually pollute less than Americans.

Same with NYC vs all of Nebraska. Per person, sure NYC is very low as most of the 8 million citizens use public transportation. But the number of trucks and busses bringing people and goods into the city still results in a huge amount of pollution. Also the heating and cooling for buildings that are hundred+ years old or super tall structures.

In comparison, Nebraska has a small population but they have a thing for trucks and no subway. Less pollution overall but more per person.
Me too! Very uplifting!!!
In theory, yes, it should be possible.

But I don't think anybody managed to, due to the amount of noise the browsers sandboxes add into the necessary syscalls.
And you cannot use e2e chats at all on desktop or GNU/Linux phones.
I have been using matrix mostly as an IRC/Gitter client but also for a small number of non-technical friends. It is making excellent progress but has a long way to come. However I do think it is the right investment due to the direction and funding it has.

Some weak points (based on using element.io clients which has some features that aren't core matrix):

- Cross-session signing is not natural to set up for users, however this likely isn't much of an issue as most of these will just use it on their phone. However this can also be an issue if they want to switch device but lost their keys.

- e2e verification is a bit awkward. No great TOFU option which makes initial setup a bit awkward, you can do it but the UI doesn't encourage it. It would also be interesting to have the option to "share" your verification. So if friend X says they trust these keys for friend Y I can import Y without further verification.

- Occasionally new devices don't want to send messages to the remote user's session. So the user just gets a "Message encrypted" notification with no indication to me that I sent a message not encrypted to all of the user's sessions.

- Voice + Video is super basic for 1:1 calls. For >2 users it uses Jitsi which is fantastic but this different UX between the two is also confusing. I'm hoping that when Jitsi launches e2e encrypted calls it can just be used for everything.

- Visually the app is cluttered and not perfectly clear. For 1:1 calls "bubbles" such as used by most chat apps are super clear. Matrix uses a design better for many user chats but can be less clear. Especially replies look a bit odd in Element.

- URL previews are only supported on web and need to be turned on per-chat (if encrypted). This is for legitimate privacy reasons but is a sacrifice of UX.

Overall once you get it set up it just works and has all of the features that a user would expect. However I'm looking forward to a lot of the polish landing which will make it compelling on UX grounds alone, whereas now it just seems like the best compromise when you consider the privacy and decentralization features.
The two that stand out are telegram and signal, and which is better for you depends on your personal balance of usability vs. privacy.

I personally can't use signal. It's great that it's secure, but I can't tolerate frequent reliability issues when it comes to messaging. The first thing that comes to mind is group chat, and having messages show up in a different order on everyone's phones (discovered via screenshots), often with multiple-hour delays.
I had a flat mate at university who was a music major; I once mentioned that I'd discovered an obscure Italian composer that I liked-- he very quickly made it obvious that the composer was not obscure and that he was one of the most prominent composers of a certain style in a random decade. Obscure is somewhat relative, but it is usually taken in the context of people who know _something_ about the subject matter. My position is that the composer was indeed not obscure, I was just ignorant of the wider culture and knowledge of musical history.
That literally what I said. He speaks to all the people there not specifically to thous who broke laws. And he called for peace, law and order and to go home. But somehow you came to the conclusion that "he said he loved the people who stormed the Capitol with rifles today" Cant you see how biased that is? You just picked the <0.001% of protestors that apparently stormed the capitol with rifles.
Why not pick the >90% while people just pretend that he only addresses them and thus only love white people so he must be racist right? You can make up any shit you want with such a retarded non-logic way of interpreting what he clearly said to all the people there.
The problem about Telegram is that the default conversation is not end-to-end encrypted.
What kind of tech news? XBox games? OSS? VC funding announcements?

Right now, what would the top 5 headlines be on your ideal news site?

I disagree with linkfrek that the ship has sailed. Online communities will always exist and evolve. Digg, Reddit, and HN won't be the last tech communities ever built.
What I quoted is after transaction costs. If I go off from Jan 1, 1998 when the S&P was 975.04 to Dec 31, 2009 when it was 1115.0, that means it has averaged 1.12% compounded annually.
no real negatives there... I'll fix that. Immutable-by-default and lazy-by-default made simple tasks awkward, its macro system is like CL's but gets in your way a little more, and because it's java it takes forever to start.
killer apps on the iphone

* maps = google

* audio = pandora

both were launch apps, both made the iphone plausible, both, were not designed by apple.
A cross post of my comment on the OP's blog:

Great list and advice. A couple things I'd add:

10. As a mashup of points 3 and 6, Start Talking to Yourself. Pretend you are on stage at a conference giving a talk, and just talk. Then write that stuff down. You'll find the stuff that you write down from your talk sounds a lot more like you really sound. And you start finding some of the things you are thinking about don't hold water when you say them outloud. Or the opposite, things are much clearer when you are hearing them come out of your mouth.

11. You should be nervous hitting the publish button. It's like releasing software. If you aren't a little nervous about how this post will be received or criticized or you aren't a little nervous you just pushed some boundaries, you might not have tried hard enough. It's similar to point 7. You're creating something new here. If you aren't nervous, if you aren't a little uncomfortable, you probably are just regurgitating someone else's lessons. Making something new usually involves putting something very sensitive about yourself out there for people to crap on or love. :)
It might also not help, but for me, in the last hour at least accessing HN returned an empty response from the server, no errors, just no output at all.
I tried going there, but the site was down. Damn hackers.
> We have made PHP so easy that even your grandmother can do it.

I'd wager it's so easy that even your grandmother can do it /badly/, while putting her business or data at risk.

More seriously:

Frameworks or languages that make it easy to be secure by default are a lot better, both for newbies who don't know better, or for old hands who slip up once or twice.

The simplest example I can think of to illustrate the difference:

<h1>Hi, <?php echo $name; ?></h1>

vs

<h1><%= name %></h1>

(Say "name" is "<script src=xss.js></script>". The former is vulnerable, the latter is not. Both are just as easy to write.)
This is the second completely unreasonable press attack on Dropbox. They are so unreasonable that I have trouble believing a reasonable person would think they are valid complaints unless they were trying to sell me a competing product.

Everyone with any security sense knows:
1. If someone gains access to your computer, and they can read your hard drive, and your computer can automatically log in to some service, then they can log in to that service.
2. If you can access the data without decrypting it locally, then your service provider can too. In a fantastically secure system, they will have decide to do and then wait for you to log in, but that's pretty unusual.

I predict next week we will get an article pointing out that I can get your files by breaking into your email account and then using the reset password feature.
For $12 you can buy a put at FB's current price ($85) for Jan 2017.

But FB has real profits, so you may not wanna bet too much against them. They're also locking up users' Internet access in many markets, making it literally impossible to run a competitor (without negotiating the same ISP access).

Perhaps look at Splunk, which does great not only in losing money, but accelerating those losses. (Er, I mean, they "focus on top-line growth".) But hey, maybe they can cut their costs by over 2 (eliminating all R&D wouldn't be enough) but keep the revenue coming in. Then they could be profitable before other systems and hardware catch up. They're only 12 years old, so it's still very early in their long-term story.
I have a Mazda, and the system works perfectly. You have to get used to it (maybe a week of use), and after that is like using a trackball. Do you need to look at your mouse to locate the buttons or the wheel? The Mazda knob is exactly the same: left is media, central is home, right is navigation.

Obviously, if you only test drive the car for an hour, you cannot get used to it, and you have to look down. Same as you had to look at your mouse the first time you used it.
That can be solved by having some rule:

1. Package not picked up after X amount of days are discarded,
unless a communication between the courier and receiver are made

I am trying to save them at least not getting a higher price than the regular USPS but faster delivery time. That is the goal
Why has no one added JSConf. It is an amazing conference with a limited set of people and very good talks. And its a 3 day conference where one day is pure fun. I attended it once and wish to attend again.

http://2015.jsconf.us/
For more details on exactly why the USMC is so afraid of being without carrier support, see accounts of the Battle of Guadalcanal. I recommend "Helmet For My Pillow" by Robert Leckie, which was also one of the books used as a basis for the HBO miniseries "The Pacific".
Bandwidth is cheap. I don't buy that argument, but I do see that there are problems with HTTP and the way it is implemented. I think that if you are going to implement something that will replace HTTP that it had better be something that is huge step up from what we have today and in that respect HTTP2 fails to convince me that it is that step.

Keep in mind that we're talking about the protocol that currently powers much of the developed world as we know it and that mistakes will be extremely costly to correct. HTTP has its warts and quirks but for the most part we have worked our way around those.

Minor efficiency gains do not add up for me to a complete overhaul of the web and everything attached to it.

So what we'll get instead is this: a percentage of the web will transition (mostly the bigger players where that few % adds up to a higher bottom line), the rest will not care and wait for HTTP3 or whatever will come after HTTP2 to really address what's wrong with HTTP (and that's not that it isn't fast enough, that's mostly a problem with the underlying transports, HTTP is plenty fast).
In principle, you can leave denotational properties unspecified in the language spec...
Your statement is only possibly true for a single request. In any real world application, the ability to issue many requests without having to open a new connection each time and to receive results out of order is a massive win over HTTP, even before you consider things like server push allowing resources like stylesheets or scripts to be delivered immediately rather than waiting for the client to finish parsing an HTML document.
I'm making a list of remote jobs. Companies and job boards. I welcome any PRs.
Sure it can. Ever heard of DLP?

Most leaks aren't terribly complicated.
> reddit is trying to make their platform even more palatable to investors and advertisers

Pretty much. Especially advertisers. They essentially ruin everything by reducing the scope of what can be posted in order to appeal towards the broadest audience. We end up with lowest common denominator stuff everywhere.
While pricing power based off the market rate does not seem like a bad idea. The problem I see is that you don't see the price till you have used it. I don't see how you could let consumers quickly know of large price changes so they would know to conserve.

It's not like your light switch has a screen that says it will cost current "$x.xx" per minute to turn this light on. Same for outlets it's not like they tell the consumer that the current device running on it is costing "$x.xx" per minute.

For such a thing it would need to be real time for consumers to react to the market. Not here is you bill by the way.
I like JSON. I write Z80.
I meant the system state when you suspended. You're absolutely right that it's just like an unplanned reboot, which isn't the worst thing in the world, but if (for example) you're doing funny things with tmpfs it can cause issues. Or, if you suspend habitually with unsaved progress, you would be in greater danger of losing it. Neither is enormously important, but it's worth noting.
So are football, pot, television, facebook, and alcohol; at least they're all potentially harmful. We need to make resilient people, not padded rooms.
I didn't intend to imply that officers shouldn't go through lots of training to protect themselves from people who are trying to harm and/or kill them.

What I was stating was that officers should go through more safety training to reduce the number of accidental deaths.
> The PR governor said

Can you provide more context to that quote? I am unable to track it down.

Your caution against lumping the US into any other group of states surely also applies to PR's economy. What European nation is subject to equivalents to the Jones Act, the Jones-Shafroth Act, the federal limits on Medicaid funding, PROMESA, federal prohibitions from declaring bankruptcy, and special tax codes like the ex-section 936?

For that matter, what does it mean that "Europe ruined itself"?
More likely the result is "you were viewing porn/that kind of porn?"
What a weird name "Long Now," I wonder what's the point of it.
Update 2/28:

Thank you all for your comments. I did receive an updated offer letter today that writes out that the minimum revenue in year one will be $50K. There is no revenue share after year one so I just asked if a revenue share can be provided after year one.
For me, a lot of the controversy surrounding the debate relates to who gets access to the data I generate. It would seem that the "cloud" crowd wants me to give up control over my data, evidently in order to further their business goals, and they're trying very hard to make the case to me that it's to my advantage. I just can't think of a reason I'd choose to limit myself from having more options to manage my data on my own terms rather than being at the mercy of various third parties.
I'm very skeptical that this is a sufficient replacement. Relevant expertise matters. If all the top economics conferences adopted a code of ethics saying they can't study minimum wages or tax increases, that would be a serious constraint on our ability to understand the issues, even if think tanks and sociology conferences ignored those constraints.

Perhaps equally importantly, I'm skeptical that you can limit ethics rules in this way. If we clearly establish that suchandsuch research would be unethical at NeurIPS, I don't expect sociology conferences or think tanks would be eager to continue it, and I'm not convinced Alex Hanna would want them to.
> [If you don't know yourself] if you are asking a for something stupid, who will know? No one will.

Makes me think I could intentionally ask for 1 or 2 stupid things, and see if the supplier tells me about it?
What does hope have to do with the patent's expiration date? You can look up the patent and determine when it expires.
My argument is that I would rather live in a society that benefits from the services afforded by my taxes than live in a society that overly scrutinizes them. I don’t much need for those services thank goodness (anymore, thank goodness), but I’m sure glad they exist for the people who do need them and I’m not about to start pinching those pennies at “time to fill out an annual form”. And I trust the judgment of “money well spent” from people with expertise and investment who share those values much more than random cranks who just see their own forms and complain.
Not a lawyer, but (for the US at least) it appears the US recgonizes the DPRK as a co-signatory to the Berne treaty (https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.pdf), which implies the US recognizes DPRK copyright.

That having been said, I don't know the copyright status of these ripped resources WRT how the DPRK treats them (what's the copyright on the OS itself)?
Check out Cuarto Milenio or Milenio 3, by Iker Jiménez.

Nice terror series.
Same with Racó Catalá.
Bitcoins usefulness is not just in its utility, but also it's creation and governance. When you highly value a decentralized, trust-less environment it's hard to look past the decade long success that the Bitcoin experiment has been.

Convincing users to migrate to 'alt coins' requires longevity of these chains, amongst other qualities, to prove they can be successors.
Whether or not you can pay/receive currency anonymously has nothing to do with whether or not you can contribute source code and/or whitepapers anonymously.
