This is also described in a recent book called “world of viruses.” Worth reading, as there is way more fascinating things I learned about viruses reading this book. Like that there are super big viruses the size of bacteria that are the closest point between a cell and a virus, a fascinating discussion about if viruses are dead or alive, and that there are 55 types of viruses found in a random blue birds that could hop in to humans like the West Nile virus did not so long ago.

I think you're approaching it from the completely wrong way.
We are in the time of revolution for video calls and interactive spaces. In times of revolution quick adoption is key. Funny/viral things with no participation barrier are ways of increasing adoption.

I dole things like this out to myself each day when I fix my lunch. If I'm going out for lunch I pack it anyways and usually eat it between 10:00-10:30am, keeps me from overeating at lunch. Otherwise, yeah, they'd last about 5 minutes.
Bit too much sugar there for my liking...
I don't know really understand why users hate on ordinary devs.

But as someone who is still using Firefox despite Mozilla management (not the devs) ignoring us, belittling us when we voice our concerns and destroy the software we fell in love with more than a decade ago over "ux" I can understand why people are frustrated:

Firefox was in another league.

Someone wrote about Pale Moon the other day, I can sadly not recommend using it as the main browser, I'm not in a position to vouch for the security, but if anyone wonders they could try to create a few ugly modern apps or open a few known safe websites and have a look :

it feels snappy, even years after Firefox diverged! And it looks so good with all the old extensions.

A real shame even I don't really dare to use it, but the web is a harsh environment.

Would you feel bothered if Wikipedia banned Project Veritas as a source, and also banned IP's related to Project Veritas? In many ways the stakes are much higher on Wikipedia.

How would Project Veritas's freedom of speech translate to Wikipedia's obligation to host and broadcast?
Writing, especially technical writing.

There is an art to writing concise, accurate text that someone can easily follow. Very few people are capable of this, and those that can have a serious advantage in their career trajectory.

Android != linux anymore than iOS == BSD. Both have open source kernels but all the stuff that matters on both OS's is closed source. As long as there is money to be made on selling computing devices open source will ALWAYS be at a big enough disadvantage that it can't catch up. Simply because Apple, Google, Microsoft etc.... can take the ideas from open source and build it into it's OS's but Linux can't. I'd personally love if Open Source ruled the consumer market but that's not going to happen.
Of all the Presidents to villify, I simply do not understand how anyone could see Lincoln as one with the exception of maybe his treatment of hostile natives, which given the time, and other problems, I can't necessarily say he did anything out of line. If you hate Lincoln, you might as well just hate the United States as a whole. If there was a President who embodied the core American cultural values and fought to keep the entire show together, it was Lincoln.

Same with most of the Founders actually. Though I've come to be a lot cooler on Washington, and I acknowledge that Jefferson may rub people the wrong way, no President can turn the country on a dime, and if you didn't like the laws at the time, that was largely the doing of Congress, and by extension, everyone else.

The President may be Commander-in-Chief, but he's also the tip of a very large, very ponderous iceberg of a Nation. That doesn't mean they get a free pass by a long shot; but one would be wise to temper one's expectations of what one person, even with the highest level of authority could unilaterally do back then. Now is a completely story though.

I highly recommend some of the books on the history of Lincoln. The Eloquent President is a good one, and I"ll have to dig up my other one about how his Cabinet appointee drastically influenced the overall strategy and tactics employed in the Civil War.

I tried doing this when I moved to NYC last year. I had not been in the area for 10 years and wanted to try out a few neighborhoods before committing to a lease.

Ultimately, I found the experience too stressful. Too much time and energy was expended trying to figure out the next place to stay. I was working, and looking for housing took up most of my time outside of work. If you don't have to work, it's probably a better experience.

AirBNB wasn't as useful as I had hoped. Here are the issues I remember:

- there weren't as many listings as craigslist by an order of magnitude
- people would take too long to respond
- people would flake out at the last minute

- people would list something available for certain dates, but it wouldn't really be available on a portion of the dates

- people would require minimum stays that they didn't list

- people were already becoming mini-hoteliers and trying to charge prices in line with actual hotels

- the mini-hotelier people were wanting security deposits up to $500
So which is it? Was Facebook 'just there' or was it better? If MySpace was akin to a teenagers bedroom, Facebook was their college dorm room (cooler, less cluttered, more grown up). Facebook seems to be doing what they can to stop people from evolving into their own house/apartment (which in my mind is a self-hosted or self-controlled application).

The fact that FB is growing with the old folks means something has gone right for them where it didn't for MySpace.
I know about as many people who are on Twitter as I know people who aren't on Facebook, in other words very few indeed.
There is absolutely no reason at all you can't do all of the math shown in the 1980's text books in python and have it be just as simple.

Because python can do much more complicated things doesn't mean you can do basic code in it either.

Periscope is good but there are too many features lacking at this point. To mention a few:

1) Privacy: What if I wanna share a stream with just my family?

2) Search: I can't search e.g. for 'racing'

3) Management/rules: Was watching a female from Dubai answering questions about life in Dubai. After about 45 seconds, an idiot came in acting as sex offender more than anything else, driving the level of the conversation down in no time. The 'author' should be able to ban accounts.

Other than that periscope is good and works fine.

No, they aren't. Those are all products, all produced for profit. They may depend on basic research, but basic research does not get products into people's hands, and basic research does not make people wealthy enough to pay for new products.

I am obviously not arguing against research, and I think your whole deal of arguing that there's some kind of tradeoff to be made between them is wrong. You can have more research and more economic growth. In fact, if you don't have more economic growth, it'll be harder to have more research, and to some extent vice versa.

This isn't to get embroiled in a real tangent about network neutrality. Nobody is advocating for any kind of particular regulatory framework for the internet, here.
I think there is an interesting conversation to be had about why, in a world with LiveStream, UStream, & YouTube Live Events, people see Meerkat/Periscope as revolutionary. Also apply that question to Spotify vs Rhapsody.

I'm looking forward to the price of nano tape coming down. It works like magic, and doesn't leave any residue when removed.

I'd argue that Rust is less demanding intellectually than C as you don't have to constantly worry about UB. C is definitely easier to "get into", if by "getting into" you mean writing unmergeable contributions full of unidiomatic code and security vulnerabilities.

C's age is not an issue in itself. The programming languages it replaced were ahead of C in many ways. It was a setback from a language design point of view, even 50 years ago.
Yeah, sorry about that. I am planning on finding a way to keep things interesting and authentic with the hosting, but also accessible to everyone.

> Should they leave it on Python 2 with zero security updates, or invest lots of time porting to python 3?

Leave it, of course. The only meaningful security risk at this point is something like heartbleed. We're talking security issue in 10 year battle hardened protocol. This is a fantastically rare case. Not something you need headcount on a constant basis to deal with.
The vast majority of brands have no problem with what the site does, and use the site frequently for their own purposes. A handful have asked for the emails to be taken down, usually because they send discount codes that they only want to distribute to their direct mailing list.
I agree and think this could possibly replace many SUVs in suburban areas. 6 person seating is another great selling point for many, just look at all of the third row vehicles like the Honda Pilot. The base price of the Cybertruck is similar to a Pilot. Which would you rather drive?

I never knew that! From their "Integrating Toxicological Assessments in Material Selection for Apple Products" white paper:

"Removal of BFRs and PVC were challenging since alternatives were not readily available at the time. The largest obstacle was identifying a replacement to PVC in AC power cords, where strict safety standards favored PVC and created barriers to its elimination. Apple worked with multiple material suppliers and tested dozens of different formulations until the right combination of performance and safety were achieved with lower toxicological and ecological risk than PVC. Apple then had to persuade dozens of safety agencies around the world to allow it to certify the alternative materials. Millions of PVC-free power cords are in use today with Apple products."

Is it employing anonymous enums? They come up for helping errors in the Rust community from time to time. The main dropback I see on relying on them is that they make it easy to accidentally expose your implementation details as part of your public API, making it a breaking change to upgrade or change a dependency.
Laws are very hard to enforce internationally and against unknown persons. Facebook ads are opaque. If they wanted to disclaim responsibility, they should start with an impressum: a click to show who the person is in your country who can be prosecuted for misleading ads.
From what I hear, Denmark universities pay grad students unusually high salaries.

I do agree that networking is very valuable. As a PhD student I do about 95% of my work from home, but I also have been able to attend a lot of conferences and workshops. (I already have 5 lined up for 2011.) My experience has been that I will meet random people and then see them again and again. This has lead to collaborations, letters of support for grant applications, and ideas for new projects. I have no doubt that it will help me when I take the next step after graduating.
Once "web" apps are using local storage and running offline and using the full power of the hardware, it's not clear what distinguishes them from "native" apps. Other than having to be written in the often-less-than-ideal HTML+JS+CSS, and even that isn't necessarily the case with NaCl.
Web apps don't "have to use the cloud" either. (there are APIs for local storage)

I don't dispute that the "web apps only" approach his more "pure". My prediction is simply that the Android approach will win out because users value functionality over purity.

Part of the reason web apps aren't saving much data locally is because they don't have anything to save (where's that API for accessing the camera?). BTW, the fix for native apps saving locally is to make all of the local storage automatically sync into the cloud, much like dropbox does (and like iPhone does with all of the app databases when it syncs). I think that's how the Sidekick worked (which was also created by Andy Rubin).
I know this article is more about interviewing than the business idea, but I have say that I like the idea.

When I'm busy, I'll sign up for a couple weeks of healthy meals (think mint quinoa, raw kale, and 6 oz of grilled buffalo - yum) to be cooked and delivered by a friend of mine. I can choose home or office on the fly. The only thing missing is some web infrastructure -- and that could really be a huge source of value for the business.

Munchery sounds like a bad name to me, but the good idea is pretty good and has a bigger market than you might think. Best of luck.
> example is probably one of the exceptions.

Precisely. I myself have seen many MBA types running around looking for 'developers who would strictly be employers only, to implement that cool idea (which usually is a clone of some famous thing on the other side of planet)' with no equity offered. And as there is no safety-net through social security here, any worthy fellow would choose the obvious and avoid such startups, as the risks far outweigh the benefits.

People get what they pay for, simple as that.
"Irreverent: showing lack of due respect or veneration" - she played it once and then invented a different game she'd rather play.

Since he holds Chess in high regard, she "should have" fawned over chess, wanting to play it again and learn more about it. To not do so is to not show enough respect to his ideal of Chess.

If instead, she had played chess a lot with him, talked about how much she liked it, and then presented him with a game she made while downplaying it as a trifling diversion from Real Chess which she really likes, then he would have felt suitable respect was being paid.

aka politics, see also: we humans delight in finding or inventing things to be offended at.

See also: how would you automatically react if someone posted "my forum is much better than YCombinator" and had an account registered a day ago, versus if patio11 posted "I'm trying out a few different ideas for auto-moderating comments on my forum, would any of you come over and give it a try please?". Same basic point, very different presentations.
I think the point he's trying to make is that we're all so conditioned to accept institutions without question ("we do it that way because we've ALWAYS done it that way"). This is beaten into us (and creativity beaten OUT OF us) as children, especially through the public schools. Clearly it's not irreverent to innovate, but I can imagine the shock/horror of the mainstream at the "reinvention" of chess.

Hedge fund managers are never going to publicise an impartial view about anything, especially not something they are heavily invested in. Forming a positive opinion about Bitcoin based on what two hedge fund managers, both bullish on BTC, have to say, seems pretty dumb.

Unless fiat is abolished, the price of something in BTC will always be pegged to USD. As USD devalues as a result of inflation, the price of a product in BTC decreases.

I don't see the difference between someone in Venezuela choosing to hold their net worth in BTC (which could halve at any moment), versus their native, rapid inflationary currency. Both are risky, but if the central bank sorted itself out and fixed the currency issue, no one will have any reason to hold BTC any more.
> ArcticBull below me shows up in EVERY single Bitcoin thread to trash talk Bitcoin. Here's where we are at; some love Bitcoin, and others show up just to talk trash. Bitcoin is only going to grow beyond $100k the next couple years regardless of how sourly "ArcticBull" wants to astroturf.

So what? My argument has never been about price but about fundamentals. The fundamentals are crap. I don't care if gets to $100K in the "next couple of years" and neither should you. The price going up doesn't make it good, the price going down doesn't make it bad.

> Spending cryptocurrency would result in selling that cryptocurrency

Not necessarily. I could give you the address of 0.001 BTC over the MasterCard network and you give me something I can eat (I don't know if this is how it will work, but why not?) No BTC is converted in fiat currency. You can hoard you BTCs for years or change them in dollars as soon as you receive them. Your choice.

Edit: I must give you the private key too.

There was a fierce debate that lead to a hard fork over increasing transaction throughput by raising the block size, so I think it's really not a given that BTC will change to increase transaction speed.

Also, one problem people have with Bitcoin is that the idea of every node of the network storing and processing every transaction is fundamentally not scalabe. Sure BTC can change and adapt, but it's hard to overcome a fundamental design shortcoming.
I'm pretty sure Mastercard did know that there are a lot of CC companies that already use crypto. And they just want to get a share of that pie.
And if they do it now, their share can still be enormous. If they just take the same percentage the use now for traditional payments, the will get a lot of exposure to crypto. And they might speculate that the whole sector will grow over the next X years. And just them onboarding, will make it more likely for this to happen.

I use a crypto backed cc since nearly 1 year. It's NOT that you are paying in crypto, you still have to convert the coins to a stable currency and the top up your card with it.
There are cards that 'make it look' like you are paying in crypto. But the do the same thing in the background.
Not really clear to me why the choke wire needs to be superconducting too, or indeed if it really is superconductive in any important sense of the word. The point seems to be that the choke wire quenches easily and provides heat from internal resistance.

Also, this sounds like it is purely a switching transistor since superconductors aren't really grey-area type of things, you get them in the superconducting state or in the normal state and the transition is about as smooth as that from water to steam.
