Yup. The only way to implement Facebook login is through the SDK, so unless you are willing to give up all your users that use Facebook login, you are stuck with the invasive, crashing SDK.
The article isn’t talking about just western countries. The subheading is: “The workers who make the Japanese shows the world is binge-watching can earn as little as $200 a month. ”
The reason (it seems) they stick to one timezone, are comments /updates can be added to status page incidents. It can be conflicting to talk about event times in a comment, and the post has different times. Here's an example from slack, where it's mixed, comments in PDT and posts in the local timezone. https://status.slack.com/2019-06-28. I think it's a setting in statuspage, but it's tough decide which is best. I definitely wouldn't prefer looking at it in UTC.
feel like should be noted this is unofficial, put together by a bunch of tech and digital government experts sure, but unofficial.
Such fantasies are normal and widespread. They often express frustration at the lack of immediately available solutions. They can also express the feeling that it's hopeless and unfixable.

I moved to essentially a small coastal town to get off the street and back in housing. Being in housing is better than being homeless, but it's hardly been a cakewalk.

So I sometimes have escapist fantasies and it's common for me to fantasize about chucking it all and up and moving to a small coastal town. Then I remember I'm in a small coastal town and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

On the one hand, I guess I've won and I can be spared the expense and hassle of relocating again. On the other hand, there's something distinctly disturbing about achieving your escapist fantasy and then continuity to fantasize about escape, especially when the fantasy is to do exactly what you've already done that hasn't yet put a stop to your desire to escape your current life and all of its attendant problems.
I immediately thought of this site/person:

Something else to consider: baggage capacity. Helicopters operate close to their weight limits when fully loaded. You may fit, but your bags may not.
> One of the best parts about this whole Soylent debacle is getting to watch well-known people make complete fools of themselves by commenting on things that they clearly know absolutely nothing about, but still feel like they have the right to make authoritative statements on.

One of the worst parts is watching how ill equipped most of society is to detect something is off-kilter. This pretty much applies to anything requiring technical understanding beyond that required to visit a mall.
Not "exactly". You also expressed tired cliches such as "Big companies create projects written in Java."
I am most comfortable with Objective-C. I agree that this would be better suited to a web-app, but I don't have the time to invest in learning a new language to do it at the moment.
Well that killed my morning routine.
Calling a task-oriented service 'Rabbit' seems worrying. Either you're unaware of the existence of TaskRabbit, in which case you haven't done basic market research and don't understand enough about this market to participate, or you know about TaskRabbit but don't understand the concept of trademark, in which case you may be fuzzy about other aspects of intellectual property - which is a red flag when you will be dealing in code, too.
Which begs the following question: what is the smallest programmable editor ?

A Forth REPL ?
Minor correction, "The dangerous effects of reading fluff".

Much like you are what you eat, you'll become what you read...
Because Lisp has positively influenced many programming paradigms du-jour, it is profound, intellectually satisfying to program in, and to some people's eyes it is a beautiful language, easy to prototype in, easy to write DSLs with. A perfect tool for a hacker-minded programmer.
"Low tax hellholes"? As opposed to high tax ones? Have you even been to Miami?
In addition to other reasons already given, I'm not sure if this is still the case because I haven't used Facebook in a while, but back in the day, the only options for 2FA were code generator in the Facebook app itself or SMS. So if you didn't want to have the Facebook app on your phone, giving them a phone number was the only way to enable 2FA.
We’re talking about a website that allows you to enter a number to see if it’s in a leak.

People are saying you shouldn’t put a number in there because if it’s not already in there, you are leaking some kind of privileged information.

That’s not true.
I don't see how unclear criteria would be an issue in the secretary problem.

For the secretary problem you only need to be able to answer the question "if I had to hire one of person 1, 2, 3, ..., k would it be person k?". Most people can do that without having a clear idea of what their actual criteria are.

> I have been married for 10+ years =)

That's sensible. Assume you want to be married for 40+ years. Applying reasoning similar to that of the secretary problem to determining how long you should stay married to your current partner before divorcing and marrying someone else, you've got another 5 years in the baseline establishment stage. :-)
Why is this surprising? Wouldn't you want to be using a competitor's product to know what it's like?
This. The problem is actually the fault of the poor who don’t see how wonderful the rich are. If the plebs were more fulsome with their praise, the pennies would rain down upon them from in high.

An interesting article for both the application of tools ans people to solve a problem and the pictures. I had to go through the article twice because the first time I stopped reading and just enjoyed the photos.

What happens when you infect a terran programmer?
Everyone is pushing in this space.
i agree that demanding perfect testing is ridiculous in most scenarios, especially when talking about human trials. however, that's not what i'm suggesting should happen. i also don't deny that the UCSF letter has a sensationalist or alarmist tone. i'm not touting their concerns, just suggesting it as a place that explains the difference between cosmic xrays and the xrays in these scanners. i guess my point is that it's very easy to mislead people that have no appreciation for these very real differences. glossing over details and nuance that have not yet been proven insignificant, and doing so with the goal of making concerned people stop asking questions about their own safety- that's not cool. when it's our own government it's even less cool.

there are so many issues swirling around this subject- privacy, security, safety, fear, "terror"... i guess i'm just wanting the science of the safety to be completely objective, open, reviewed, failsafes and failure modes known... all that jazz. as a member of the public it seems like these things were just thrown out there. the tsa is covering their butt by doing whatever is possible, a few scanner manufacturers are having a good year, and we're just supposed to leave it like that, keep calm, carry on... i can't say that makes me feel great.
At least one story I know of that uses this plot device, at least in its backstory, is David Weber's Honor Harrington books.

Sucks for Brad Fitzpatrick (LiveJournal). They bought his company for stock (I think) then sold it for $25M cash to a Russian company (which users hated I believe). Now he's probably got a pittance of stock in Say Media, which will also probably fail.

Lesson: get cash or public company stock.
> '"Draw a circle in this shade of red, give it a black border this thick, make it this big and put it at these coordinates"'

Draw a 300 pixel DarkRed circle with a thin black border centered in the blue square.

Wolfram's point is that conventional languages won't get your circle to that location as easily, e.g. if the blue square is named arbitrarily and its color is bluish but not literally <color>blue</color>.

I'm not suggesting that high-level languages aren't useful, but the reason people often storyboard designs with felt-tips and tracing paper rather than Photoshop is to avoid interrupting the flow of thoughts with the task of translation.
Well it would only be good for SMS, since the iPod Touch doesn't have any ability to make and receive phone calls over the regular cell networks.
Agreed. Simply fantastic.
True. Consider the pricing per month:

450 Minutes, unlimited mobile/mobile and data: $59 for google IO attendees.

$29 per month to use wifi teathering.

This is 450 minutes for $90 per month! To make it unlimited the prices becomes $130 per month!

Compare that to T-Mobile which offers all that (unlimited) for $65 with the Nexus One.
From the experience in my family I would say inquire about one. A family member had many blood tests for a mystery illness, some of which were ambiguous for Celiac. The only definitive tests were done via biopsy and visual inspection of the colon.

The damage was so severe that a section of colon had to be removed.
Heh. I've certainly embraced that, for a good number of years. But that doesn't mean I need to use an English keymap, although I did fight that battle for a great while back on the Amiga, 15+ years ago. :)
It would be rare for Celiac to exhibit such extreme symptoms, and your blood tests do not scream, "He has Celiac!" I will be surprised if that's ultimately what you have.*

On the other hand, your WBC abnormalities are interesting. I still wonder if you've had an SPEP/UPEP, although your normal hematocrit is, to an extent, reassuring. Historically, how has your wound healing been?

* = Edit: Especially given that you have elevated IgA across the board, it's not all that surprising that you have an elevated anti-transglutaminase IgA.
FaceTime does not run over the cell network, it uses wifi for the video component.
Apple wants to be both a publisher and the builder of the platform

This is hardware-scarcity thinking. My hypothesis is that our industry is so entrained to think like this that it's going to take a decade to settle in to our new universe. It's going to be like when the mainframe folks had to come to grips with the PC.

We are going to be awash in tablets within a year. Within five years we will be picking them out of the trash.

Platforms are a commodity now. I can buy a Windows laptop -- not a netbook, a 15" laptop -- for a few hundred bucks from my local Micro Center. Netbooks are even cheaper, of course. As for operating systems? The Linux revolution has arrived. Android has arrived and it is open-source. If you want to run your own platform you need to download Android and pay some Chinese manufacturing firm a few hundred bucks per unit to cough out a tablet or a generic smartphone and stick your nameplate on it. And if this isn't true now, it will be true in a year or two.

I have a Flip Mino video camera. Its processing power is surely greater than that of the laptop I owned ten years ago. I am about to literally take the thing apart for parts because its resale value is too small to care and my new iPhone is going to be a factor of five more useful.

When a hardware platform was a three thousand dollar investment we had to worry a lot about the manufacturer "dictating what it can be used for", because we couldn't afford more than one. The one we bought had to support everything we wanted to do, or we would be sad. When hardware platforms cost thirty dollars the calculus will change.

What Apple has figured out is that when hardware is a commodity, editing and publishing is the name of the game. You're no longer competing to sell more hardware independent of content, just as Conde Nast is not a paper company. Your asset is taste. Design. The ability to ship hardware-software-content combos that consistently work and consistently make the customer happy.
It looks interesting, but CEO's don't have time to get syntax errors. That is why they pay big money to companies for products like Synergy SmartViews or UniPoint or Crystal Reports. So they can pay someone with moderate skills a moderate salary to generate professional looking reports. This would have to undercut those other tools in price and also be geared towards more technical industries. Preferably industries that have internal developers with time to play around with this. Then the real money will come in the form of paid training courses and certification levels.

I think you're onto something and I do think there's a market for this, but you're aiming too high. The target audience for this is buyers, planners, and schedulers. They are the boots-on-the-ground who generate these kinds of reports for the CEO. They are the ones who will see your product, identify with it, and recognize it's value. CEO's don't care where pretty reports come from. They pay someone else to worry about that.

The good news is the hard part seems to be mostly done. If you spent some time adding Visual development features to this (so you can just click and drag buttons to create queries) you would have a very big market. You would get bonus points for integrating this directly into popular ERP systems like Job Boss or Infor Visual.
Part of this problem, as I (a non-expert) see it, is that so-called mainstream economists tend to operate within a specific paradigm that imbues a certain perspective toward the subjects of their analysis. Accompanying that perspective are the same sort of limitations you allude to when you point to ecologist as a domain expert (tangent: economists are also domain experts, with all of the limitations that implies, even if some economists seem to imply that virtually everything is economics...). This remains true even among environmental economists, who largely share the approach of their peers in the world of mainstream economics. While the questions you provide are examples of relevant and necessary concerns, and might be easily addressed (at least superficially) in an undergraduate environmental econ. textbook, they also reflect the limitations of the field.

In my opinion, when it comes to ecological concerns, effectively aligning private incentives with the public good is a question for ecological economists * , not just (plain old) economists or ecologists. Ecological economists, though fewer in number and typically relegated to more liminal realms of the field than mainstream economists, utilize a relatively more wholistic approach that carries with it a different set of limitations. If humanity is going to successfully address the monstrous environmental challenges it faces in the 21st century, I suspect it will be accomplished by asking different questions than those (mainstream) environmental economists are prepared to answer.

* as well as other scientists and social scientists (e.g. environmental sociologists)
The relationship between states and localities is governed by the constitution and laws of each individual state and not the US Constitution.

In my particular state, and in many but not all others, local governments whether that be counties, cities or towns are administrative districts which only have the rights and powers which the state chooses to delegate to them through state law and the particular charter granted by the state to the administrative district. The state through the normal legislative process can change those rights and powers or even eliminate a particular administrative district.
Yes. Self hosting tt-rss[1] and using it for close to an year now. No problem what so ever; It's so low maintenance that I would've quite possibly forgotten about it if I wasn't reading the feeds everyday. Before this I was using elfeed[2] which is a great piece of software, but I read things across various devices and elfeed had some issues with that (after all it's supposed to run inside emacs).

For podcasts (since these are also technically feeds) I use AntennaPod[3] on my Android phone, but don't use it too often because of all the time commitment required with podcasts.

Honest question: What would be the alternative to DRM?

How would video streaming companies “protect” their content without DRM? Or is the debate that they shouldn’t be able to?

Having the ability to stream directly in the browser is definitely a good thing IMHO.
I guess you could have used a private nextcloud instance to transfer it.
There are more interesting questions:

- what if Excite bought Google and killed it. And kept buying all competitors before they become a threat .... like Google does these days.

- following from there: which companies have been bought and killed off so that the future we could have had was sacrificed on the altar of existing companies defending their own turf.

- following even more: Which innovation are we not seeing because the huge business model desert created by the dominant advertising model (which now turned into surveillance model).
I am currently using https://matrix.org/ for this, and it works great. My family has been very pleased with it as well.
For what it's worth, if you're really hardcore about it buy some grazing land and reforest it with native species (if appropriate - in some places peatland or wetland restoration makes more sense). You'll at least sequester the carbon that was lost when the land was destroyed for grazing and you'll make it infinitesimally more challenging to produce livestock, a very carbon-intensive activity.

In some places you can even get small grants for this - Ireland has a little bit of money for afforesting with native species, for instance.
There is no hypocrisy. Tim said that DRM is a reality and that it should be standardized. Some people did not like that. We owe Tim a great debt of gratitude for inventing the web and bypassing any opportunities available to him to patent his invention so that the technology would be freely available. The OP should show him some respect.
I believe the parent meant we would say 'salaryman' when speaking of the Japanese conception of the term. Which in my experience is true. It could be because 'sarariman', though a reasonable approximation of the Japanese pronunciation, does sound like a racist caricature, but I think it is equally likely it just feels awkward to the native-english-speaking tongue.
This isn't a turn key utility, but it's relatively easy to call from Go. It allows you to set the number of data shards and parity shards, it's pretty fast. It's at

Seems like a pretty common solution, I suspect there's other libraries for popular language/platforms.
I started writing a backend in Go.
So far it parses the request, turns it into a struct and saves it to mongodb. However 2 requests per page are recorded, no idea why that happens. One has 24 or 25 fields filled, the next 15-19 fields.

Anyhow that's as far as I got.
The next and largest step would be analyzing those records aka creating all those beautiful graphs.
Also creating a management interface for sites and generation of tracking code.
While it's open source (search for gopiwik) it still uses the mgo.v2 driver and I just yesterday added go module support and did some minor changes.

I thought, why reinvent the wheel, let's just grab the piwik.js and build a receiver. Turns out it's a bit more complicated than that.
I recently purchased a TV with Google TV and I must say I'm really enjoying Google TV.
That's because there have been hundreds of years of efforts within the legal sphere to solidify your private property rights. Much of that effort involved individuals parsing, understanding, and improving the objective realities in which they lived, and resulted in your ability to not give web banning much thought.

It’s also very cool when they send html and plain text in the email, but the plain text just says “your email client does not support html, please visit the following link in a browser to read”.

And by very cool I mean annoying and not cool.

And the reason that it’s annoying is because I do have the capability of reading both, it’s just that because I read my mail in mutt I would prefer to read the plain text version instead of the one that has been piped through elinks since in an ideal world the plain text version would be better formatted for that than what I get from elinks.

Unfortunately the world is far from ideal, so you get stuff like this instead. And I’m left with the option of dealing with it in basically one of a few ways

- Configure mutt to prefer html over plain text, meaning a slightly worse experience for mails that are actually better formatted in their plain text originals.

- Keep my current configuration and having to press a few extra buttons every so often in order to see the html attached version instead

- Making a convoluted system that is based either on associating preferred format with the sender address, sender mail server etc. Or one using heuristics to compare the text and html versions and choosing one based on that. Ultimately this either such type of system would be time consuming to make and probably fragile leading to more frustrations.

- Abandoning mutt. Truth be told mutt is not ideal, and at some point I will probably stop using it. But I’ve been using it for years and my setup is at a kind of local optimum, where even though there are frustrations with it it is never any one given point in time where it is worth the effort of making those sorts of changes. Even though in the long run, it would be better.

For a while I was toying with the idea of offering hosted email to others as a paid service. If I had say 25 paying customers that paid a real premium price then I could spend time on the setup and have the time being paid time and making it worth the effort. But truth be told I am fearful of doing this because with the way that email works it will be almost certain that mails of my customers end up wrongly seen as spam by some receiving systems. And I don’t want my paying customers to experience that with a service I provide to them for the kind of price that I would have to charge in order to offer hosted mail service in the first place.

For the record I would charge $100/month. Which for most people is crazy compared to either using a free mail service or paying for example Proton Mail but I believe that there exist 25 people in the world who earn enough and care about the things I care about with regards to email that it would make sense for them to pay this price for it, and because these few people would know that they are paying that price in return for being hosted by someone who only hosts a few people and therefore has time to properly provide in-depth customer service. But like I said because of the likelihood of mails sent by my server ending in spam, it is a no-go IMO.
If someone puts a car or a body on your property, do you destroy it?
it'll smoke most anything on the dragstrip and corners are unamerican so they don't matter.
I really like this idea, because it'd enable true per-site permissions for hardware access — currently one has to give the browser access to everything and trust its ability to restrict access as needed and keep sites cordoned off from each other. The browser itself would no longer need exceptional privileges (compared to other types of apps) in order to function as a platform.
