It's only a problem if it doesn't work.

I'm happy with imperfect protein folders that beat SOTA by 100% and with DALL.E drawing the radish-in-tutu-walking-a-dog and a harp-snail on request. I'll be happy also with the slightly unexplainable medical diagnosis that still beats the average expert in that field. And getting good unbiased data for these algorithms is going to happen eventually.

Exactly. So many products get sold based on handwaving and being able to check boxes. Anybody releasing open-source software needs to ask themselves, "What uses will this be put to?" Computers can be instruments of freedom or instruments of control.
React does the same in fact, and its documentation for class-based and hooks-based are not up to date last time I checked. I would rather having two clearly separated but documented options in vue3(class-based vs functional-based), instead of React's "we're mostly likely just use hooks alone in the future but oops our documentation is pretty much still non-hooks yet".
Nobody believes in crystal spheres. The point is they are not so trivial to disprove.
To the best of my knowledge, while the company has various secrets, none of them would be particularly embarassing. We wouldn't bother buying one of these services in advance of having a problem.

In my experience, the vast majority of salescritters making cold calls don't know much about the product that they are selling. They have about three paragraphs of information at their fingertips, and that's it. They often don't know whether it runs as a service or as delivered software, what operating systems it uses or can support, and in many cases they don't understand what it does or why someone would want to buy it.
Yes, in fact we have some early support for Firecracker, where we can at least boot some basic Unikraft images with it (e.g., see page 10 of this paper[0], FIgure 10, where we get the shortest boot times with Firecracker). We're still missing networking supporto on FC, which we're working on.

There's no generic alternative for Vyvanse, so w/o insurance it's going to be costly.

I have ADHD. I've tried both Adderall and Vyvanse, and IMO Vyvanse is the much cleaner feeling drug. Kinda glad the price point kept me out of it because it compelled me to find strategies that dont involve meds.
For the purposes of this article, the author seems to treat writing Markdown and HTML files as equivalent--both are plaintext.

> And similar is the case with simple static HTML websites - a simple static page is better than all publishing platforms that can ever be created.

The content in both of those formats can be read by anything that can read text, in contrast to something like Wordpess which requires a database and large application stack to view its content.

Dark Web Social Media

Darknetstreet is a social network community. with similar functions to Facebook, allowing users to use our platform anonymously without the need to identify your personal information. you can add and talk to new friends, share and read posts on the timeline, open and join pages and groups, and a lot more.

Forum and blog section contains tons of useful information. The topics on darknetstreet is usually about giving information about deep web subjects, Cyber security news, hacking services. market related updates, and a lot more.
Rust and Go have big backers behind them. This generates a feedback loop of hype leading to toy projects and thought leadership, which subsequently turns into real adoption. If weren't for that they would be maturing at about the same rate as Nim.
I don't think it's a performance and memory issue that the author is raising. Ruby, much like Python, mostly wraps some lower level libraries for game dev. In both cases, you either make sure your users have dependencies installed, or you use one of the clumsy "compiler" solutions that don't always work well.

Consequently, Ruby isn't any better for the author's usage case (kids wanting to learn to write games that are super easily portable). It can be done, but it's not going to be as easy as some of the other languages/toolkits (for that specific usage case).
That's plainly not true. Even if we accept the notion that taxation occurs on a pay-for-direct-utility model (which isn't true in the general case for any western nation afaik), larger homes with more land will clearly require more lighting and sweeping per person than an apartment block.
Mibbit is still proprietary which is the same issue with Slack. The KiwiIRC webbased IRC client is open source with a free to use (no ads!) hosted version that is gaining in popularity. More and more existing IRC networks are enabling Kiwi with complete Freenode support also.

UI improvements are coming up to make the most IRC actions usable via the UI which will make a huge improvement over many IRC options out there.

Disclaimer: I'm a Kiwi IRC dev.
Meh, I don't trust a large "user-owned cooperative" much more than I trust Google. Then incentives of the owners may be more aligned, but the incentives of the people who actually run it aren't. For an example, see the collapse of the Spanish banking system, much of which was composed of mutual banks.

I'd trust a small cooperative, but then you still have the problem of federating between those, which brings you back to square one.
I was thinking with this idea for some time and the killers features for me are:

- Post a json with the markdown content to a custom URL

Do you plan to open source it?

>the line about collection on foreign enemies for WMD's is some sort of loophole

The view that the NSA should do no spying at all is a minority absurdist viewpoint that is easily discarded.
One more thing to dislike about XMPP/Jabber is that it's XML based. Writing products on top of it is unnecessarily verbose and complicated (also due to the bad choices you mentioned). A modern messaging protocol should use JSON.
> Term limits really would make sense.

Three terms in the House, two in the Senate. Eighteen years is more than enough time for anyone to hold that much power.

A nice side effect would be more people working hard at the state level rather than seeing the state legislature as just a stepping stone to national office.
I'm concerned that websites which abuse Slack like this are going to ruin Slack's free tier for those of us who rely on it for more legitimate purposes. I cannot possibly comprehend the mindset behind someone who would choose to use Slack for these purposes when IRC has existed since the 80s and accomplishes the same task much better. Nor do I understand why we are leaching onto Slack when Hipchat has existed with a similar free tier for a while now.

And it is abuse. From the company itself: "these communities are not something we have the capacity to support given the growth in our existing business." [1]

On dedicated servers at least you don't need to work around it. You can install vanilla version of your chosen distribution straight from their panel.
Whenever I see a random example of an American describing their local police as really racist, from an outside-of-the-usa perspective I mentally translate this as "astonishingly, incredibly racist in ways that would make your jaw drop".
It looks like Burmese to me... [1] or Javanese [2] , or some such Brahmic script.

The inscription within the One Ring to which the OP's quote refers was written using Tengwar, which is a script devised by the Elves and therefore "looks pretty" ;)
It's not on by default, you have to turn it off by going from "standard" to "strict" settings so there's not really anything to complain about.
Two subtleties involved here:

A) There are actually 2 price ceilings. The $9000/MWh is the "high" cap. The situation lasted for long enough that they were supposed to switch to the "low" cap of (the greater of) $2,000/MWh or 50x the natural gas price index. Due to the also high price of natural gas during the crisis, this "low" cap ended up being higher then the "high" cap.

B) To protect the grid at a techincal level, portions of it were disconnected (load shedding). The result is that the "market" value within the grid that remained connected actually did drop below the cap. Since this only happened because supply was so low that some consumers couldn't buy at any price, the decision was made to set the price to the cap to better reflect the full demand instead of just the demand that was still connected.
Corrections: Most but not all government forms in Canada use yyyy-mm-dd format, which is a positive change. But indeed we are used to living in a mishmash of American, European, and ISO influences. Americans might get angry if you don't use mm/dd/yy format; I'm not aware of them being attached to dd/mm/yy.
Losses, and culpability of guilt (responsibility) should follow profits.

Doing enough to be prepared and attempt to avoid preventable failures should be built into market players not going to jail or bankruptcy.
Alaska discourages people coming to Alaska without preparation.[1] "You should have a round trip ticket and cash or credit card resources ($2,000 for temporary and $3,000 for permanent work) to live on while looking for work. Many who arrived short of cash encountered serious hardship and shattered dreams. Public assistance programs cannot be counted on by persons relocating to Alaska without adequate funds. Homesteading is not available now. The climate and unpredictable summer weather generally discourage camper or tent living for extended periods."

Of course, once enough people do it, peak price time moves out of solar-generating-but-home-use-low time (see, e.g., California.)
I know people whose teams used to meet in person a few times a year. They loved it.

I know someone who had to drive 3 hours for a weekly customer meeting. They started to resent every person they saw those days.
I don't even know about inspiring. It's just accident-porn, inflated by a publicity-craving Chilean government and blow way out of proportions by an all too willing international press.
Technology as an enabler of police states - yes, it is, and judging by current events, pretty much irresistible to a lot of governments. I would imaging that this will balance out, as technology diffuses further into society and matures, but who knows.
Two party systems - yes, again. They roundly suck. Someone really needs to figure out how to break the US, UK, Canada, etc.. out of the death grip of their two party local minima. How do you convince people that some form of PR is much better - and then fight the huge incumbent party machines which oppose it?
Baen books (http://www.Baen.com ) was a leader in ebooks, and sells only DRM-free, afaik. In fact, they've even got a decent library of entirely free (as in beer) books, to whet your appetite. They publish sci-fi books.

This is one company that "gets it", and I recommend them enthusiastically.
> Facebook and Google usurped their predecessors from out of nowhere. They both wouldn't exist if their founders said to themselves, "I'm not going to try to overtake Yahoo/MySpace -- they're unkillable."

Google beat Yahoo at their own game.

Facebook beat MySpace at thier own game. It's a different game than Google were playing, but Facebook made their game more important than Google's.
It's a really common use case actually. Let's say you're a friend IRL, but on Twitter you just talk about sports. I still want you to be able to Direct Message me, but I don't care about sports (I'm myopic and only care about tech ;-)) Proxlet helps you achieve this type of relationship.

If you want something "easier" to start with I would suggest Naqoyqatsi soundtrack, the Symphony No. 3 is a nice listen as well.

Koyaanisqatsi was the first Glass' piece I remember hearing and to this day still remains my favourite. But perhaps it is best experienced while watching the movie, the score is meant to work along with the pictures.

It's possible that one of the parties _is_ the government, but the secret that is being protected is that fact itself.
The thing about a DDoS attack, is that it's a significantly higher traffic volume that the target normally sees.

So, a "sufficiently large" site might well not even notice if you tried to DDoS them.

I would assume Google and Facebook (and Twitter) to be examples of such "sufficiently large" sites.

The devil has enough advocates. Every time the words "to play the devil's advocate..." cross your brain, just punch yourself in the face instead. Soon the urge will pass.
In my perception the wikileaks of iraq / afghanistan / cablegate got far more tv-news exposure throughout the year than facebook did. It is true that wikileaks itself became only an issue until nov/dec, but its leaks before that had high news value.
Not only is the software patent outrageous but the lawyer math is totally baloney every visitor represents a lost sale of 149. ridiculous.
I don't think this is that oppressive. He went through security and set off an explosives detector. The cops showed up and asked some questions. Then he left.

This is a vast mischaracterization of what happened.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the government can't hamfistedly accuse you of a crime. All it says is that they have to charge you or let you go in 24 hours, give you a trial, and punish you in a consistent way. They did that here; they asked some questions and they let him go.

He was detained without arrest, based on minimal suspicions. Yes, he should have shut the hell up and not answered questions.

You can say that the government is an oppressive regime that is out to get you for your political views, or you can say you rolled the dice and lost.

Except these dice are heavily weighted against you if you are brown and/or non-christian.

say you want to check for guns and explosives before people get on an airplane. How do you do it?

That's not happening here. He was not detained because he had an explosive or firearm, he was detained because he was subject to a different level of scrutiny than the other passengers who went through the scanner.
> I imagine the only worse thing I could be is an Iranian nuclear scientist.

I would like to think such a person would have no problem coming, but just wouldn't be allowed to go back.
There is a cool TV show on Scyfy right now called Continuum that has "future" technology that records everything a police office sees and regularly backs it up to a remote storage for evidence. In addition, it provides a host of situational awareness aids.

From an enforcement and tactical perspective, such technology is invaluable and will undoubtedly save lives.

It also alleviates the he said/she said issues and makes improper behavior by officers plain as day in court.

As long as it doesn't have sensors that can "see through walls", this tech isn't particularly invasive. If it can breach the boundary of your private home, that's another issue all together.

Sure. The American nuclear industry kinda caught up with that after Three Mile Island, when they figured out that one nuclear accident put them all at risk. They developed an extreme culture of safety after that.

Current designs use lots of redundant safety systems. New designs depend more on simple physics...eg., fuel that expands enough when it heats to damp down the reaction, or large quantities of coolant with very high thermal capacity and conductivity. At Argonne's IFR project, they shut down coolant circulation and electric power, and the reactor quietly shut down with no damage.
I am FAR from an NFT apologist but I also dont think your answer represents an understanding of the reality of the technical constraints.

The pointer in an NFT is truly permanent. the concerns for lack of permanence relate to if you put in an impermanent thing like an http URL in the pointer but there are also permanent things you could put in the url like a hash or more or less permanant things like a ipfs address.

Judging a technology on an explicitly stupid use of that technology doesn't make sense.
My thoughts as well. Sure I know there is an apparent wealth of command line utilities that can do everything you want and more. But not everyone knows those.

Take me for instance: I know a couple of programming laguages pretty well and know how to do most of the typical awk/sed/grep/... functionality in them by hart. I don't do a lot of command line work though, and never came around to learning it properly, so when I do and have to do something like 'move all files if some condition is true'/'do x for files containing y' and so on it's always the same struggle - couple of options:

- start googling around till solution found using awk/sed/... crawl through sometimes awkward syntax and require multiple dummy runs or on copies od data (not nice if it's in the TB ranges) to make sure I don't screw something up

- once and for all learn the ins and outs of awk/sed/...; not sure if the amount of time I'd have to spend on it is worth it

- start an IDE, write some C++ or C#, enter debugger and fix things on the go until correct. The process is usually way faster than the above one since I know syntax and needed methods by hart

- write Python/MsBuild script

- use something like pythonpy

Usually any of these except the first two seem a better idea in my case. So next time I'm definitely going to try the last one out.
“They’ve eliminated accessibility in order to market the product. Now that means we have to figure out how to solve a problem that we didn’t create.”

Ermm ... I'd argue that dragnet mass surveillance is exactly one of the causes. Good security should be the default position. That we've had poor security to date should be the considered the real aberration.
Regarding the comment on interchange, while the proposed 12 cent debit interchange cap may be revised upward, it's not likely that Durbin Amendment supporters and the Fed are going sit idly by if banks/card associations either overtly encourage consumers to shift to credit cards or widen the gap between debit and credit interchange rates.

Seems far more possible that if Durbin survives the new incoming congress a reduction in credit interchange will be proposed.

Couldn't agree more about mobile payments being hot in 2011, though.

This is how the GunCon (Time Crisis) gun worked -- comparing the observed beam refresh with a feed of the video signal.

Unfortunately, this method requires a CRT, so these guns don't work with LCD or plasma displays. That's why modern light guns, like the GunCon 3, use a Wii-like system that triangulates position based on infrared LEDs attached to the display.
