There's a product in the Australia and NZ market called One Square Meal which seems exactly this (which would seem to raise the spectre of trademark conflict). http://www.onesquaremeal.com/productinfo.html

For something that's 1/3 DI, it's pleasant enough, though a can get a bit tiring on the jaw if you're trying to wolf it down, which you often are if you're in a situation where you need a meal substitute...

How production ready or mature are Racket libs for creating CRUD web services? skimming through the Racket website one can see Racket has the basics, a http server and a library for interacting with databases like postgresql, as someone relative new to programming/webdev, would I face to much "reinvent the wheel" versus Clojure or Javascript?
Either way the university owns the IP regardless of who the "inventor" on the patent is, so why is this relevant?
Snowden and Greenwald actually used one of the most popular of those tools, as you know, and according to the person who did the most conclusive, reputable, and devastating security analysis of that tool, they used it during a time when it was catastrophically broken.

The clear message you are trying to communicate is that the security community hyperventilates over security problems to the detriment of the community. That's not what happens. Look at Lavabit --- another example: the problem with serverside encrypted Internet email was absolutely written off as hyperventilation, to the detriment of every single Lavabit user, whose communications were almost certainly recorded and are, as a result of the way Lavabit handled a request for Snowden's communications, retroactively decrypted.

I'm starting to realise this point. :-( I'm at the moment developing on an idea that I've had for a startup, but New Zealand isn't known for its VCs... I'm kind of lost in that department.

Reading the discussion here reminded me of the outage of AT&T's long-distance network back in 1991. After a bit of searching, I found an interesting-looking document at http://faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3439.html entitled "RFC 3439 - Some Internet Architectural Guidelines and Philosophy," which seems relevant here somehow. Though this document outlines considerations pertaining to complexity in Internet backbone architecture, perhaps the overall philosophical questions it poses and guidelines it offers could be instructive as regards the recent Skype meltdown.

As regards the aforementioned 1991 failure of the AT&T long-distance system, which resulted in a service outage of about six hours, the document says:

"The PSTN's SS7 control network provides an interesting example of what can go wrong with a tightly coupled complex system. Outages such as the well publicized 1991 outage of AT&T's SS7 demonstrates the phenomenon: the outage was caused by software bugs in the switches' crash recovery code. In this case, one switch crashed due to a hardware glitch. When this switch came back up, it (plus a reasonably probable timing event) caused its neighbors to crash When the neighboring switches came back up, they caused their neighbors to crash, and so on [NEUMANN] (the root cause turned out to be a misplaced 'break' statement; this is an excellent example of cross- layer coupling). This phenomenon is similar to the phase-locking of weakly coupled oscillators, in which random variations in sequence times plays an important role in system stability [THOMPSON]."
I dunno how it is in the US, but here in Brazil, firemen also use gold-plated helmets.

I once in a first aid training asked one fireman that was present to borrow me his helmet, because I was doubting you could see through it (I was 12).

The nice man put the helmet correctly on my head, and to my surprise, I really could see! Everything was blue, but I could see everything, it was really cool.

This article explained to me WHY I could see... I was still puzzled (I thought gold reflected 100% of visible light)
In my 20's I built a thriving web business in Phoenix on my own. There was no support, no venture capital, no community, etc. Nothing to help me build my business. I eventually moved to SF...and brought talent with me.

> Why can't we just be fair to everyone regardless of color?

Because our society is structurally and historically configured to not be fair to people based on color, such that even individuals acting in their own non-racist self-interest
(i.e. choosing a home in a "good school district") end up amplifying the effects of the racist social and power structures [1].

The only way we can move toward a world in which we are "fair to everyone regardless of color" is to dismantle the endemic systemic racism that currently exists. Denying the existence of structural racism is what is ridiculous.

Of course, every development also has its counter-development -- specially when a big court gives new guidelines. Everybody (the examiners, people who think about the system and judges) can see, that the system is overstretched. So a reaction was very much necessary.

But there are strong forces, that are pulling the system into the wrong direction. Big corporations, patent lawyers and investors want the overstretched system, because it is good for their profit.

It is good for dinosaur corporations that want to defend their "claim" against smaller and more agile competitors.
I read the Bitcoin whitepaper and I find blockchain a terrible and entirely inelegant technology. It is horribly inefficient and I can think of only a handful of domains where blockchain's properties would outweigh its problems. Cryptocurrencies with no central issuer are possibly one such domain, but do we really need them (esp. at that environmental cost)?
Now I have an image of Lygon St spruikers madly typing in vi...

A near lifelong citizen of Fitzroy and Brunswick, I've noticed that locals have shifted heavily away from Lygon St - for me, I refuse to eat there simply because even after you've had a satisfying dinner, you can't walk down the street without being accosted by every spruiker you come across. Having to walk a couple of hundred meters continually chanting "no thanks, we just ate, we just ate" takes the shine from a good dinner. I'd rather pay for dessert and wine than run the spruiker gauntlet...

Thank you.

I promise I don't actually mean to speak for anyone other than myself.

I have observed assistive technology before and wondered just how effective it is. I suspect many sighted programmers (like the parent poster) have wondered this as well, and the point of my post was, to use your metaphor, to point out it is a very different experience riding in a car versus driving one.

That said, some of your report surprise me.

Do you program in K?

You wrote you programmed in all of the languages that I mentioned, but you made mention of how dense Haskell seems and K is much more dense than Haskell.

For example, and I'm sorry if your screen reader doesn't like this, in K I can write:

c:{+(.#:'=x;?x)}

Q sounds better on a screen reader to me, but is harder for my eyes to parse:

c:{flip(value count each group x;distinct x)}

Here's a Python implementation of "c" above:

def c(v):
h = {}
for el in v:
h[el] = h.get(el,0) + 1
a = []
for el in h.keys():
a += [[ h[el], el ]]
return a

Now I don't know if you know K or Q, but I must say that I don't find this easy to read. Not with my eyes or with my ears. When I pointed to the fact that Python functions are longer and delimited by whitespace caused me a great deal of frustration, I hope that if you don't know K or Q that this gives you a better understanding of what I'm comparing it with.

On the other hand: If you do know K or Q, then I'm wondering if you could explain how you experience a python program like that in your environment is preferable to the K or Q example.
I had to change it from basically "Don't use company X; click here to read why not" to something like "Thinking of using Company X; click here to read my story". Google wants your add to promote your service/content, not demote someone else's.

They also don't allow things like, "Pepsi tastes better than Coke" for what it's worth.

Ask CDPR developers.
Internal monolouges enable structural inequalities and broken paradigmes. Memetic constructs form the basis for all societal constructs, so I think maybe you are under selling the importance of thoughts in this case.
This debate is made more complicated than it needs to be because almost everyone keeps getting confused between cost of living and cost of labor. These two are somewhat correlated but can easily deviate from each other especially for a given industry in a given place.

We are right now in a transition phase during which employers and employees are trying to find market equilibrium under these here conditions were remote work suddenly is a bigger option. I expect that we'll naturally arrive at a few different pay ranges for similar work that result in essence in different markets based on constraints required by the work. That might be based on a requirement to be in a specific location, time zone, country (for legal reasons), or unconstrained as long as the work gets done.

Ultimately I expect this to result in location mattering a whole lot less for most software job's compensation. This means much lower comp for folks in SF or NYC and much higher comp for folks in places that currently have low cost of labor like the middle of the US, but also Central and South America.

Remote work is gonna be the great equalizer. It's exciting to be able to work from more locations. On the other hand the dream of a silicon valley salary for folks who moved to Bozeman, MT will last a short time for the average developer. And salaries in SV will also adjust down as fewer jobs will require being there and now compete with developers in more locations.

Edit: typo
*11.5% as much compute.
Yes that's a fair statement, but I think you can get a lot further with 3 day python course and a locally hosted Jupyter instance (and from an endpoint security perspective, no need to worry about VBA or PowerShell on the clients either).
Bonuses and RSUs presumably give you wiggle room to handwave your total comp though.

Could you elaborate on why they are "terrible"? I've been quite satisfied with my Mini + Plex setup.
Bob Young notably said:

"One of the ideas behind Red Hat is to take a $10 billion market and turn it into a $10 million market".

His point being that hiding the source creates the inefficiency of having to get every little bug and feature fixed by the one company that has access to the secret source. This inefficiency is lucrative if you're that one company, but a vast drag on the economy for everyone else.

> If automation, nobody cares who gets what.

Humans are still monkeys. They won't magically shuck off human nature in time for you have it easy.

And those who most ardently feel differently that everyone should share will use the rhetorical tactics that provoke the opposite of the desired reaction. We already see that with some of the wedge issues.

> but why turn the machine off at all?

Because they can. Because they want to. To prove that they can. To make you get off your mooching ass. To help you by forcing you to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. By reinventing racism and pretending that they are another species. For shits and giggles. To usher in the end times. To prevent the end times from ever occurring. To see what will happen. To see if anything will happen. Because they don't care. Because they never noticed.

I could list hundreds of reasons, all of which will be at least partly true.

You'll still starve, even if you die knowing the "whys".
I am not arguing on the other tests, I agreed with them on almost every point. I just was personally a bit confused when they threw the ball test at me.
The answer is "yes".

The problem is that the web isn't stateful, as we term it, so each request you make is a totally blank slate—except for cookies. If they do any expensive computations and then cache them in the session (temporary data associated with your browser through a cookie) clearing your cookies will force them to do it again.

In my experience it's better to trust 1st-party cookies that the site you're visiting directly may set, rather than trusting all 3rd party cookies set by folks like Google or Facebook.

A simple example is that you indicated some preference. The only way for the browser and server to retain that preference is via a cookie.
But then why will people click on the article? Gotta use those sensationalist buzzwords!
Stock orange because I dgaf.
This is awesome. Now, if I come across an interesting article, I can find places that may link to other interesting articles.

A suggestion: It'd be nice to be able to specify an article URL in the article search field. That way you can specify exactly what article you're interested in finding links to. For example, to get to the SMBC article page, I had to manually make my URL https://wikireverse.org/articles/en/Saturday_Morning_Breakfa... , I couldn't get there by searching for "Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal" (at least it wasn't in the first page of results) or "SMBC."

Anyway, thanks for making and sharing this.
> My life is a failure for not having thought of this.

Actually, I did think of this, many times. But my biggest bottleneck was: how will I scale up the replies? I could handle being a "boyfriend" for, say, 10 women. But any bigger, and I'd need help. I considered MTurk, but thought that quality control would be an issue. (What if the MTurk guy really starts hitting on the woman, they exchange numbers and then he starts stalking her?). Anyways: after considering all the messiness, I gave it a pass.
I could see Netflix's library of older content taking the place of some fresh content pirating. There was a theory that the iPod dropped sales of new music because people now had an easy way to listen to their entire music library and "rediscovered" old songs. This lead to not purchasing new music for a period. Netflix could inspire much the same phenomena with the added bonus of newer content being added.
Flat rate also trumps free. That's why Netflix is better than Comcast on-demand (at $1 to $5 per movie) -- I want the ability to turn off a movie after 20 minutes if it is junk, without feeling like I just wasted a couple Washingtons or a Lincoln.
Actually I hadn't considered that use-case.
"Actually, I dont buy this due to the fact that piracy is largly around fresh content, where netflix movie library is fairly old."

Do you have a citation for this? All of the places where people put numbers to piracy that I've seen (like the lawsuits against various anonymous folks) seem to span a whole range of content from older stuff to newer stuff.
To paraphrase this whole debate: "My group is better than your group because I am a member of it".
Your pricing is simple and makes sense.

Regarding marketing - for reaching niche audiences, one of the best things you can do is try to get into Trade Magazines or go to tradeshows. It costs a lot but oftentimes is worth the expense of a booth.

We aren't so deep a niche but we do some outreach to different niches and try to do some deep diving... find out what they really want and where they would go to find it.
When I want to watch a movie, the first place I go to is netflix. I won't tell you the second place I go to.

I'd pay an extra 5 bucks a month if it could increase the rate at which netflix lets me "play now" movies. Yes, some movies I specifically want to get on bluray, but there are plenty of others that video quality matters very little to me.
Exactly. If anything I'd bet the opposite might be the case. After all, Netflix streaming and Hulu have both been an enabler for a lot of folks to drop their cable subscription altogether(my wife and I have, for one).

The only problem is that there are still a few shows we really want to see (like Game Of Thrones) that we can't find a way to legally acquire. Without cable there is no HBO.

I bet more and more people are going to be turning to piracy to get the content they want when they cut that cable cord.

Not allowing inbound connections is arguably a feature for most users, not a bug.

I don't think that even given widespread IPv6 adoption, we'll ever go back to a model where residential or mobile internet connections will allow for public reachability by default.

Of course, NATs and firewalls are not the same thing (you just effectively happen to get the latter when deploying the former). But I firmly believe that the bulk of technologies that give us dynamic endpoint lookup and coordinated firewall traversal will outlive IPv4 and NAT.

As an anecdotal example, I used to have a mobile data plan that assigned a public IPv4 address to my phone, including inbound TCP/UDP reachability! That's neither good for battery life, nor for data consumption (on a metered plan). By contrast, my current one puts me behind a carrier grade NAT, but I have no problems whatsoever making peer to peer VoIP calls to friends behind the same type of NAT.
That don't require tipping?
