* being able to add tags, and/or labels.

* different colors.

However I do like the simplicity of it all.
The meat of the presentation is this graph:

Everything about that just makes my skin crawl. Each of those contacts is programs not getting written, customers not getting talked to, A/B tests not getting run, etc etc. I accept that fundraising is necessary for a certain class of companies, but egads, any graph that looks like that needs radical corrective capitalism.

On the plus side, it looks like AngelList is helping out on that score. I rather expect that YC & etc have similar effects.
That's why Sergei Korolev the chief engineer behind the successfull russion space program that led to Gargarins victory said:

„The genius of a construction lies in its simplicity. Everybody can build complicated things."
Viruses are generally not considered to be alive, so they're not an especially good example. On the other hand, if you print the code used to generate these creatures on them (or give them some way to communicate it), and build a scanner so that a 3d printer can take the design from them, they could be considered to be alive (and male) as far as reproduction is concerned.
The endless funding to the car industry trying to prevent the inevitable was a classic example. It didn't alter things one bit.

The Greens are the closest thing to an effective opposition. Both the main parties have effectively the same policies, the same supporters (now the unions are rooted) and the same voter base.
The most common case for me is when fuzzing, when I want reproducible random numbers, so it must be possible to initialize the RNG from a known fixed seed so that I can re-run and debug a failure.
Ok, so no one can steal my crypto. But what if they accept my payment, and then they don't give me the items I payed for? Or vice versa - if I'm selling something and I give them the item, but they don't initiate the payment? What if the company I work for isn't transferring the BTC in our contract at the end of the month, because they ran out because their own customers haven't been paying?

With a regular currency, the government can print more money and at least have a chance for things going back to normal once the currency has a chance to go back up in value. But with a currency that's not controlled, you won't get payed in worthless money (inflation), you just won't get payed at all! And instead of getting back your lost value if the currency rises in power, you'll have to hope the contract will be honored at a later date, or massively overload the legal system.
The main flaw in this benchmark is that it's too little work, so the javascript numbers are very close to node's startup time alone.

Running 100 iterations gives you a much better idea of actual performance (JS is over 10x slower) but then you need to think about what compiler optimizations are being applied.
Folks doing this need to be careful not to plug their disk into a machine with a different OS.

If the disk is plugged into an already booted system and the OS doesn't recognize the filesystem format, I believe macOS and Windows display a prompt to format the disk, which someone may accidentally click.
Minetest had a mod to fake spherical planets using a torus.

The main problem with minetest it is that it seems not complete/done on the art assets and main game, and the devs always say that is intentionally not a Minecraft clone yet people come searching one on the subgames.
I don't use Dropbox for audio, video or photos, and I'm already using more than 3.3G. A lot of my folders are probably things I put in there to quickly share it with someone or access it from another computer. I could move them now and free up some space. But, I can't be bothered. That's one reason why people will convert to premium. The hassle of sorting through folders is probably not worth $100 to many.
Best of summary of the Cassandra data model I've seen:

HashMap<PartitionKey, OrderedSet<ClusterKey>>

So you can lookup data by the ParititionKey, then perform range queries on the ClusterKey to filter data belonging to that partition.

If your access patterns look like that, Cassandra could be a great fit.

For anything else, you probably want to consider a different data store.
> I'm but merely arguing that your supposition of the value of a “species" is nonsensical.

But of course it's not. This is straightforward to demonstrate.

If you are to converve a set of traits, as you would like to think, (to me = proxy for species), so they will not disappear (= go extinct) how will you define this set?

You will gather the sets of traits (= species concepts), and figure out which set to preserve. The cutting edge way of doing this is to look at the evolutionary distance between species and weight those species (sorry, sets of traits), that contain unique evolutionary tradjectories higher. You'll look at what is actually possible, consider geographic and geopolitical constraints, and make a decision. Now, you can't preserve just one trait, because, and here's the problem with your "only traits matter" arguement ... they come bundled with others. Now you have an optimization problem, that can only really be tackled by understanding the sets, i.e. species concepts.

Use whatever words you want, semantics are that species concepts are extremely useful, because they are conceptual boundaries/limits that must be understood if we are to act in `some` useful ways. Note I do not say in `all` ways (you would coutner-point glowing fish with jellyfish genes), I only have to prove the `some` case.

At the end of the day definitions matter if they can be used to do meaningful work with them, regardless of wether other definitions can refute them, or point us in other directions towards other conceptual playgrounds. I hope you see that species definitions fall into the category of enabling meaningful work.
> it isn't an absolutest point or mantra.

"Safety first" literally is an absolutist mantra; no part of its wording is conditional. Of course people read into it a less absolute figurative meaning that may be useful for thinking about safety. However it can be politically and legally useful to speak using absolutes.

Using the example of viruses and the economy, it has been politically expedient for politicians to state that nothing should be done which puts life in danger, while making actions which balance safety and economics.
Interestingly, fields in which women dominate tend to have lower pay. [1] So even where the playing field is in their favor sexism wise, the system still gets them.

> if you are concerned about mobile usage, that has nothing to do with the stack - you can code responsive design and accessible markup on any stack.

The requirement here is that the web app should look and feel like mobile app so that the user is not put off from using it regularly. Also, the web app should not drain the user's device battery. Not all stacks can handle that efficiently.
Hi! Creator of Insomnia here :)

The main differences are that Paw is a native Mac app, paid, and closed source.

Insomnia is open source, cross-platform, and free to use (although there is a paid plan).

Some of Insomnia's biggest differentiators are it's GraphQL query editor (autocomplete, linting, etc) and it's ability to be customized via plugins and themes.

1. The overwhelming majority of protests in city blocks did not at all prevent the lawful operation of government or businesses (And those that have did so in a rather limited way). So far, this one is batting one thousand. Congress had to be evacuated. Its operations had to stop, as its members were instructed to shelter in place.

2. I disagree that those are proper charges. Context matters. A mob showing up at the capitol and smashing a few windows from the outside when nothing of note is happening is disorderly conduct.

A mob showing up at congress in the middle of a certification of an election, spurred on by cries that the election is stolen, and we need to do something, where members of the mob think they are participating in a revolution... Is a coup.

It's a naked attempt to prevent a lawful transfer of power. Just because it's a failed coup doesn't make it anything less than a coup.
oh, weird. I was reading some web page that was discussing it, and it seemed to indicate the opposite.

Summary (from Quora https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-register-an-ICO-with-the-SE...):

| The easiest way to make an initial coin offering compliant with the SEC is to file an exemption under Rule 506 of Regulation D.

| Reg. D section 506b allows you to raise money from up to 35 non-accredited and unlimited accredited investors, however you cannot advertise.

| Reg. D, section 506c allows you to advertise, but only raise money from accredited investors and they must provide evidence or 3rd party verification of being accredited.

| These are both great options, but unfortunately they limit your ability to raise capital from non-accredited investors, which is a significant advantage and source of capital for ICO’s.

| On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed a landmark piece of bi-partisan legislation called The JOBS Act into law. The JOBS Act greatly expanded entrepreneurs’ access to capital, allowing them to go to the crowd and publicly advertise their capital raises.

| Included in the JOBS Act was Regulation A+ which allows the public to invest up to $50M, in a 12 month period, in private companies. This allows startups to use Reg A+ to turn their customers into investors.

| Before committing to a Reg. A+ offering, companies are permitted to “test the waters”. This enables companies to gauge the potential success of a Reg. A+ offering and make an educated decision on whether or not to move forward prior to spending time and money on the SEC approval process. Testing the waters can be a low cost and simple way to make sure a Reg. A+ offering makes sense for an ICO.

| Because of the costs associated with conducting a Reg A+ offering, it’s most likely not worth it for offerings under $3 million.

| In my opinion, Reg. A+ is the perfect middle ground for companies looking to launch an ICO that’s compliant with the SEC, but also available to the general public.
People who make enough money to save 20% of their deposits probably aren’t going to bother with some convoluted system to earn a maximum of $3000 interest annually. You could make more with AMEX points.
Or use two security keys, one on your root user and another for your own personal IAM user, but you're right, don't use your root user for everyday tasks.
And from everything I've seen from government policy, they actually don't want to defend because that would mean securing common software that "the enemy" also uses, closing their own avenues of attack. You can't really have an arsenal of exploits at hand without acknowledging that by keeping them secret, you're making your own people less safe.
That's a good point, the ideal strategy might be to do little to stop the events and then later start public high impact investigations and arrests for a few of the involved.
What we have is literally representative democracy. Did we not just have elections last November?
This is an absolutely excellent point. A few eye opening examples of this can be seen in the History Channel Docu-Drama "The Men Who Built America" [1]. Excellent show, honestly, with interesting points and some good history. It also showed how each of these extremely successful business people did not follow, they were leading into new territory.

Imagine you are reading wikipedia every day for years and really like its content and it gives a lot to you and then suddenly you see grave mistakes on some of the sites (like when I saw that wikipedia had the wrong year for nicolas cage's oscar win!), wouldn't you go "out of your way" to fix these mistakes? I mean wouldn't it annoy the living hell out of you to know that this mistake lives on while you go on consuming the rest of wikipedia? Nonetheless, ADDING stuff is a level higher but editing mistakes might be the first stepping stone...
> Within my lifetime, this was not the case.

When was this? I can't remember such a time in my own lifetime. (Views on Communism and the Cold War being the dominant initial one that the government was pushing.)
> One important reason that school kids aren't being vaccinated is that the vaccines haven't been approved yet because trials in that age group are still ongoing.

Sort of. The vaccine also wasn't tested on 80+ but they were first in line.
For the same reasons that the US approved mergers of European and sometimes Chinese companies. If they have fairly major operations in China then China can get involved.

I'm not sure if either AMD or Xilinx has sufficient operations in China to justify it, though.
I remember exactly where I was, about a year ago today, when I realized Deep Thought was an existentialist. B2 Data Structures lab in a building called Fitz. I knew I couldn’t have been the first to realize this, but I couldn’t bear to look it up and see whether or not I’d been preempted.

And it was totally what he meant. The ASCII wildcard-existentialism theory is too consistent with the themes Adams explores through the series to have been an accident.

I fully agree with Musk when he said he regards the Hitchhiker’s Guide as a great work of philosophy, whether or not he was joking. It totally worked for me as I was trying to progress beyond nihilism.

Presumption of Innocence is only valid when being held or otherwise detained due to suspicion of guilt by the government, at least in the USA.

Dropbox is a private service, and any notices stating that users cannot sync certain files when they use their product under penalty of removal of their account can be enforced, just like any brick and mortar store can enforce a "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy and refuse to give service to anyone they please, even for trivial matters like whether or not the patron/user is wearing clean socks.
The form letter the OP got wasn't a DMCA takedown notice. The letter stated that a takedown notice had been received. That was untrue (the file was being removed for a different reason) but since no takedown notice was sent it certainly isn't perjury.

The key question is of whether he is right about practical implications of sharing or not sharing, which mostly he is.

Sure, I'll buy that, but I still believe he's a terrible spokesperson for the FSF and (intentionally or otherwise) for free/open source software as a whole. He's not persuasive to anyone but people who already agree with him, and he tends to come off as arrogant and condescending. And as much as I don't want to "judge a book by its cover," many people do, and let's face it: the man looks like a maladjusted hippie most of the time, which I don't think many people relate to anymore. Any way you try to spin it, that's not a good way to evoke sympathy for your cause. But yet we're kinda stuck with him.

However you might want to calibrate yourself on RMS once and awhile :).

Haha, I really like how you put that, and you're very right. I was a little afraid that I might come off similar to RMS in my original post, (incorrectly) implying that I'd already made up my mind and wasn't interested in hearing others' opinions. But yes, it's always good to check in now and then.

He is a human being and an exceptional one at that. And saying: Richard be like this or Richard be like that, accomplishes nothing. It's like telling a rose not to grow thorns.

Yeah, I know, but I wish the FSF could... "manage" him a bit better, and perhaps promote as their spokesperson someone more likable and able to talk to people without alienating them.

From what I understand about Dropbox's anti-piracy system, he's talking about what they do when, say, someone posts a public link to "Spiderman.3.DVDRip.avi" in a forum in China. This obvious and illegal use of Dropbox is a big liability, not to mention source of traffic.
Agreed (it might also interest you that you can generate them programmatically using the Google Chart API[1]).

WSL on Windows replaces the need for uutils/coreutils. Running an actual distribution of Linux on Windows with WSL provides an actual Linux/POSIX environment.

In my experience, there is a graveyard of tools that I tried which attempted to create native POSIX ports for Windows. Each port came up short in my workflow every time. PowerShell and WSL provide me and the teams I work with an experience that simply works.
I'm a designer, and even on my work issued Macbook I had no issue using design programs like Sketch or Figma with the trackpad. It was really effortless and sometimes even after I got back to my desk where I had a mouse I'd still be using the trackpad for an hour after without even really realizing, it's that good.

It even feels amazing, physically. It's smooth and your finger just glides right over it and still registers the touch with barely any pressure. The combination of the hardware, the size, and the software (drivers, OS, whatever else) is just the best I've ever used. Best of all, it's like that right out of the box.

For laptops, at least, I'm solidly Apple for the trackpad alone, I like it that much.
I am, and it shows me tweets from people I don't follow. It cleverly uses the mechanism of "retweets" to show me them. It's only when you realise that _twitter only shows you selected retweets_ that you see the notion of retweeting is an excuse to show you tweets from people you don't follow.

I didn't say the same size, I said finite size.

If the market grows at a rate of 6% and your company is growing at 8%, then your company will eventually slow down to 6% or else the market will speed up to 8%, but in neither situation will you "outperform" the market forever.

In the case of Buffet, Berkshire Hathaway has about $800 billion in assets under management. If the market size is 50 Trillion, and let's say that 10% of that consists of reliably undervalued companies then the size of the market for companies that Berkshire can buy is 5 Trillion. This market will grow at 6%, if you think Berkshire can have 8% returns, then it will own half of all undervalued companies in 63 years, 2/3 of all undervalued companies in 78 years, and all undervalued companies in 100 years. But of course Buffet can't find 100% of all undervalued companies and there are other people also trying to find them.

And of course each individual company that Buffet buys will itself stop making above average returns as it itself grows, and therefore every year, the returns on the companies in Buffet's own portfolio will go closer to the market average even as new undervalued companies are harder to find. Thus the overall return of Buffet's fund will be dragged down to the market return much sooner than the theoretical limits I outlined above.
