Actually, you have to assume that any encryption is a temporary measure; it can and will be broken in the future. With that in mind, if something is worth encrypting, it's possible you don't want the service to store it after it's useful.

Of course, whatsapp could register devices which are thrown away after x days without delivery then store the messages until delivered to all end devices but that's likely a core infrastructure update which would require them to store more data, not the same as just writing another client.

Still, what they've created as a web client is a little batty; typically I'd want to use those when I can't find my phone.
The whole existence thing is flawed imo. Does an iron ladder exist? It is just a configuration of elements that are perceived as such. The conception lays on “our” plane but not on the lower. We use a latin word for it, but it is still “our” word. We separate things, not things themselves.

What bugs me in philosophy is that you can read theories and ideas (good ones), but no one asks if base terms are too much human to be important. Is there a school that doesn’t ob/subjectivize “items” and thinks as a whole?
We wrote tests from day 1, but I have mixed opinions about the value of it. It certainly has helped at times, but it also adds a huge tax to everything.

Pros

* Established the proper culture from day one. If you end up being successful, this is extremely valuable. Culture is very, very hard to change.

* Eliminated a lot of bugs and regressions.

* Gave us confidence working in a regulated space.

Cons

* Adds a lot of time to initial development

* Product complexity doesn't really require testing in the early stages.

* Slows down ability to pivot

-----

If I were to do it again. I'd write fewer tests, but establish milestones for requiring changing/additions to be tested.

* My rule of thumb would be: If you can't easily test it in the UI, write a test. Or, if it's business critical, write a test.

* Verify authorization and authentication. It's very important.

* Test anything that makes/loses money (for example, Strip, Recurly, etc).

* Jest snapshots are quick and easy. Use them.

* Write tests for utility functions

Don't test:

* Database migrations

* UI interactions (unless critical). They take a lot of time to write and UI changes frequently.

* Vendor/3rd party API integrations beyond surface level. In my experience, quick implementations always involve a bunch of mocking/stubbing - making these types of tests less useful.
The flip side of the coin is protecting truth or useful ideas from ultimately less true or useful ideas. Or just simply avoiding the overhead of exhaustively vetting every idea without regard for its apparent merit. It's just like genetics: mutation can be valuable and is ultimately the way that anything evolves, but any given mutation is much much more likely to be problematic than valuable. There's a fine balance in identifying the ideal level of mutation for the long-term health of an ecosystem. Similarly, there's a balance in finding the right degree of resistance to novel ideas. Maximum support for heresy is probably not the equilibrium point.
I never said that newbies would or should be publishing packages.

Pika CDN and @pika/cli can potentially make newbies' lives easier, but it doesn't mean that every project under the Pika umbrella is aimed exclusively at newbies.
At closer inspection GVariants looks very similar to JSON though.
Where I live people give their phones and unlock code to others to drive under their name. They usually do this for drivers who can't pass a background check or even don't have a driver's license, but still need money.

The legit driver almost always gets a cut for this, free money on your vacation days or while you're working other, better jobs.
Found the heretic! PG will now give you a million billion dollars.
Available spaces were most probably not fit to serve as hospital for airborne infectious disease. Water/air ducts, isolation rooms, medical equipment and so on.

I haven't listened to any Weird Al in a decade or so, but I listened to this one, and his delivery was exactly the same as it always was. It's extremely predictable; reading the lyrics and having any familiarity with his parodies at all should have been enough.

This song did strike me as a little more critical than most of what I remember (though Smells Like Nirvana did come to mind), but hey, that's obvious from the lyrics. I wouldn't fault her for saying no at that point; instead she refused to respond until he'd done the recording.

So I agree with Al, it was a stupid demand to make (especially considering that she should know that recording a song isn't cheap), and Al's reaction isn't really about the money; it's about punishing her for either thoughtlessness or meanness, and also a bit about getting a bit of press for himself.

I suppose I'm not terribly impressed with either of them.
Without consent? You have to have location services turned on and they're off by default when you get your phone.
Identifier of what, though? The two data points you just described identify the wireless network, not the iPhone. In fact, what you just described is precisely the data required for obtaining a device location from the nearby wireless networks, a la Skyhook.
I guess you could chain the founders to the wall and feed them gruel too - that would keep alignment.

Kidding, but wanting a guaranteed return after years of struggle is sensible. Witholding that because you like to seem the founder "hungry" is not nice, and certainly nobody's business but the persons involved.

I can guess that it will sometimes blow up in everybody's face. Yet in the end, the founder has the leverage in a bull market.
Isn't that what happens to infants when fed honey?
> But the question is do they miss out on key business knowledge by not being around other people.

Considering the amount of money and effort engineers put into blocking distractions in open-plan offices, it is probably about the same.
> in general, positive current stimulates neural activity while negative current inhibits it

I don't understand how this sentence can be right. Current is positive or negative w.r.t. a direction, right? Does the brain have some preferred direction, like positive being "along blood flow" and negative against?
This ( plus nearly all of Rothbard ) is where I disagree with the Austrians. I don't think specie-fever is particularly an Austrian .. opinion but they're also highly correlated - Austrians tend to be fond of gold. If I win my bet, specie is pretty dramatically a bad idea, as the interwar stories show well enough for me. Austrians in general don't seem to grasp that flows matter as much.

When I want to be hyperbolic, I will accuse deflation of being a big contributor to WWII.

I just don't like the idea of the level of currency in circulation being a drag on transactions. Throw in that how debt can be a real problem for people, and I just can't go there. I rather giggle at the "Hayek and the suit" story, although I admire Hayek greatly.

I'm closest to Friedman/Fisher/(these days)Sumner. Mainly because the story is one of poor instrumentation leading to policy that doesn't do what we want, which suits my biases.

"Interfluidity" did an ( I think ) brilliant piece titled "Depression Is A Choice" in which they mused that deflation may well reflect our revealed preferences.
Advance Publications is still their largest shareholder and one of three board seats belongs to the president of Condé Nast. I'm not sure how independent one could call them under these circumstances.
That's like using natural lemon juice to kill the bacteria that cause pink eye.. great remedy: squeeze lemon juice in your eye (yes it will sting and burn for a hot minute until you... ) run your eye under luke-warm to semi-hot water, and within 2-3 days, no more pink eye. Antibiotics can take up to 10 days to rid pink eye.

When startups that have launched in the press post jobs, they invariably do include their names:

http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs

It's only the unlaunched ones that don't. Those have to weigh the benefits of launching vs the costs. Usually they launch soon anyway (we encourage startups to launch quickly) and can then give their names in jobs posts. So a post like this is not the last chance a startup will have to hire people; it's just a chance for them to attract a few adventurous ones a month early.

Empirically, they are in fact able to attract good people, which is why they continue to do it. A posting by an unnamed startup may not work on a job board where anyone can post, but here it has worked well for years.
The government isn't enforcing compliance in this case; it's enforcing contracts. The matter at hand isn't criminal.
I'm the opposite, I love programming, but dislike languages. I can recall in junior high wondering why these certain rules existed. "This is simply more verbose and doesn't disambiguate anything as far as I can tell." The problem I encountered with natural languages is I rarely could get an answer as to why we have a form for this word. Whereas with programming, I can usually get an answer for almost any question I have about a language.

Fertility rates decline most strikingly due to the education of women in society:

http://www.earth-policy.org/data_highlights/2011/highlights1...

"Female education is especially important. Research consistently shows that women who are empowered through education tend to have fewer children and have them later. If and when they do become mothers, they tend to be healthier and raise healthier children, who then also stay in school longer. They earn more money with which to support their families, and contribute more to their communities’ economic growth. Indeed, educating girls can transform whole communities."

A bit older study:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/97facts/edu2birt.htm

"A women's educational level is the best predictor of how many children she will have, according to a new study from the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study, based on an analysis of 1994 birth certificates, found a direct relationship between years of education and birth rates, with the highest birth rates among women with the lowest educational attainment.

Birth rate patterns also vary greatly by mothers age. Among women in their twenties - the peak childbearing ages - and women in their forties, birth rates are highest for women with the least education. For women with college degrees, rates are highest for those in their early thirties, perhaps signaling the preferred time for childbearing by this group. First birth rates for women in their thirties with a college degree were two to five times the first birth rates for women with less education."
That's a really good explanation. It's funny that they don't mention or allude to any of this in their page on why playwright: https://playwright.dev/docs/why-playwright/
So are the 996 work weeks.
But the C++ spec has become quite unwieldy, so I can understand the desire to start a totally new language.
Would have been more fun if they had proven it works hehe.

> “When power flows into the EmDrive," he continued, "the engine warms up. This also causes the fastening elements on the scale to warp, causing the scale to move to a new zero point. We were able to prevent that in an improved structure.
> the "Internal Business Applications" team was the one that maintained the corporate site, or did projects for other departments that didn't have the headcount for a full time developer of their own (sales department and the cornfugraiton tool). Developers also were the ones that did updates to the ERP and CRM systems. The customer support website was maintained as part of this.

We usually call this "IS" (Information Systems). This usually goes hand in hand with IT as IT/IS.
> So who do you report law enforcement misconduct to?

In the case of the FBI, the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (essentially, the FBI’s “Internal Affairs” unit), DoJ Inspector General, your reps in either House of Congress, or members of the Judiciary Committee (in either House) or the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (in the Senate) or the Oversight and Reform Committee (in the House).

May also be worth going to media and/or NGOs, though which, if any (especially of the latter) are most likely to be useful varies a lot by who you are and what the exact details of thr misconduct are.

Private litigation may or may not be useful (both governmental and personal immunities come into play) and can be very expensive (though NGOs may help with this.)
I usually avoid a direct ad-hominem attack but here I think I have to.

Most things this person says in every thread about Clojure are false.
Even if they win, who will enforce it? The FBI/DOJ are supposed to be the ones investigating color of law and law enforcement misconduct.
Every day we inch closer to a police state.
It would be amazing, especially if they also tore down all the billboards instead of leaving them up and blank.
Take a snapshot of the VM and reset it to that point when the free trial period expires. They have you do this with their official VM's for IE testing.
Well, if you go to a forum about space exploration video game, you might indeed find some intalligent discussion about world hunger, among other things ;).
> When a Kid loves space and rockets, when he spends countless time reading science-fiction books, it's because to him it's fun, fascinating and exciting, not because it's supposed to feed starving children. I doubt an adult rocket scientist or engineer is fundamentally different. Deep down he just doesn't give a crap about starving children in Africa.

While I agree with the emotional motivation (hell, I'm a geek because of Star Trek, and note that includes me wanting all of humanity to have a bright future), I very much disagree with the conclusion that a rocket scientist "doesn't give a crap about starving children". Not only giving a crap is not related to being a space enthusiast, I'd wager that on average, your rocket scientist (or even space geek) has more things to say about the hunger problem than an average person.

Not only many of them care, they actually have the intellectual tools to rationally address the topic.

And RE video games, space and world hunger tangent downthread - only today I saw people debating environmental issues on a Kerbal Space Program forum. So nope, those dicussions in fact are there (usually in a subforum dedicated to off-topic discussions).
Great domain, nice design, just not sure what it is or what a network is. Is it a forum?
Flask's documentation is my favorite. I sat down and read all of it one night just because it was so beautiful and readable.

I'm not sure why this is being voted down... maybe because there isn't anything to back it up.
But, I do think in a way it is a defacto ban. There will be some kids who seek out this book, but chances are those are not the kids that need to read this book. When you take important literature out of the classroom, you are preventing the kids who would at least pick up the main ideas from getting at those main ideas.
Sigh.

While interesting, arguing about the methods used to violate your basic civil rights only distracts from the real discussion about YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED BY THE VERY GOVERNMENT FORMED TO PROTECT THEM.

Keep your eye on the ball people.
Yes, that's exactly what I was referring to, you're getting a new timeline. You need to rebase the slaves and you have no real-time backup for a few hours. Sucks. You have to be very careful, and there are all sorts of ways you can break it. It's not something I'd want to rely on right now when under fire.
>The school eventually agreed, promising to remove the book from students' required reading list and releasing a statement apologizing that the "cultural insensitivity embedded in this book makes it an inappropriate choice as a central text in our 10th grade curriculum."

Anyone who played a part in releasing the statement should be fired for failure to understand the concept of a free society.

The rational for government supported education is that a democracy needs educated citizens to survive. The people involved obviously don't grasp that.
I think there's a couple parts: 1) digitizing the curriculum, which might include video, and 2) everything else.

I think Google would be great at the first one. I'm not sure how good we'd be at the second part, but I totally agree this is an important problem. My dad was a physics professor for 30+ years, so I've seen a lot of issues with the current model. I have to think there are ways to educate people better than we do it now. You can't tell me that in 20 years we'll still be using the same practices to educate people that we do now.

It is still used as both a slur and a legitimate term.

But even if #1 is false it's not up to neuro-typicals to decide if that word is 'fair game.' It is up to that community.

And if they do reclaim the term like BIPOC we still have to understand and listen and not inject ourselves. Just like BIPOC use racist pejoratives - for many complex cultural reasons - it is not up to me/us a white guy to dictate or judge.
Note that there's no such thing as spreaded arrays in Java. Instead, varargs are just syntactic sugar for arrays.
After all, "idiot" used to refer to mentally disabled people and few would consider that word to be particularly offensive today.

And a "geek" used to be the guy in the carnival sideshow who would bite the heads off of live chickens.

Think about that the next time you see a Geek Squad van in your neighborhood.
DHH had already made it clear that RSpec will not get into Rails.

I agree, whitelabels are the best! I have a couple of great tracks on whitelabels.
"But Drew!" Jimmy exclaims, "What if someone uses Dropbox at work and at home? Are these special folders going to be synced across computers? If so, how will the key be easily transferred (email, USB stick)? What happens when the user's hard drive crashes and his key file is lost permanently? Otherwise, if these special folders won't be synced, then what is the point of the folders being in Dropbox at all?"

If that were the case, you wouldn't be presented with region and availability zone options.
"How should I run" is a question that can only be asked by someone who doesn't run much.

That sounds flip and snarky, so let me frame it in a personal way ...

Years ago, when I started my martial arts training, I naturally asked a teacher about some details / techniques of a certain kick. He said "do that kick 5000 more times and then ask me that". So I did. And I had no questions to ask about it.

That's the beauty of your brain and body interface - you have a built-in mechanism for stripping away extraneous movements and inefficiencies and honing a physical act to the most efficient movement available. It just happens.

So when I hear people talk about fine details of running technique, I say "run 1000 miles and then revisit those questions".

Pro tip: when your body is most tired is when you'll find the movements that are least important. When you are close to exhaustion, you won't have the extra elevation or the extraneous movement or the inefficient motions - you'll find the path of least effort. So in addition to running those 1000 miles, run some of them until you're very tired.

I think you're mostly talking about engineering, not science.

Engineering always has a practical goal, and for that field you're right.
Can you elaborate? If you're talking about the client-side decorations in GTK, those are up to the app developer to choose if they want them or not.
To what (honest) standard are you holding the United States to? Curious, given the totally black swan nature of the event and the wildly different geopolitical, cultural, legal, cultural, and even geographical differences between, say, Taiwan and the United States.
Actually, I am not quite getting the structure of your software/business.

- Where can I pay you for creating this wonderful software or what else are you charging for?

- I saw that you offer docker and node installation manuals, but how does this fit together with your business?

- You said you open-sourced several components, so which are the components that you would like to keep secret for the time you are in business?

- How does your software compare to Media Goblin [1] or Photoprism [2]?

- Is there any federation like network feature planned (e.g. Activity Pub support)?

Don't get me wrong. I totally like what you are doing, but I don't fully understand it yet and would like to know if it is what I am looking for ;-)
