Specifically with respect to the OP, they have a gigantic datastore of their users' social graphs. That's a "real thing" that can be monopolized: their users' data.
Looks like Mozilla is tracking it down: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650939
One of my favorite things about Clojure is the things it's said "yes" to, as first-class language builtins: char, vector, set, and map notation; first class "vars" (actually thread locals), ways to manage and dereference state, Java interop that doesn't set your hair on fire, namespaces, keywords and namespaced keywords, and a whole bunch of features I'm probably forgetting.

Instead, Steve Yegge is asking for things that don't seem terribly important to me. Excluding loops from the language core is obvious; Clojure makes it really easy to use the functional style instead and loops would serve as a newbie trap. For the last two weeks I've been programming Clojure full-time and haven't used a single loop macro or loop-recur. He complains about the lack of circular dependencies; but no circular dependencies across namespaces is A Good Thing just as you shouldn't have circular dependencies across Java packages or C++ libraries. The guy he cites who declared macros evil is obviously not a part of 'mainstream' Clojure culture, and maybe someone can explain Yegge's anger about single-pass compilation, because I don't get it.

And of course, Clojure is a highly extensible language that has implicitly said Yes to a vast ideascape.
We just got done hearing about how PHP's early years included "official" abstention from frameworky things (http://codefury.net/2011/04/why-php-was-a-ghetto/). PHP "won" because of distribution, just like Javascript is "winning" now.
In the article, it said that the device used could extract data regardless of whether the phone was password-protected or not. Looks like it's time to start encrypting our cellphone data as well.
The comparison is very apt. Consent often changes how we view things. Rape and privacy violations are not the same but when it comes to consent very similar.
> because of the massive increase in routine use of antibiotics in meat production

Which is dangerous because it leads bacteria to evolve away from the antibiotics, becoming harder to stop in humans. Antibiotic resistance is one of the issues hurt by the poor understanding of evolution.

Anyway, the general problem is that people don't have an understanding of science in general necessary to understand issues on which the government must make public policy. It's like trying to drive a car somewhere without knowing how to read street signs or a map.
From Homer, I learned the worth of striving in life, that I may one day achieve immortality, by becoming legendary. It's not that the humanities lack crucial lessons to instil. It's merely that in the age of new media and digital reproduction, the core tenets of our civilization have to find a more contemporary means of transmission than the million word opus. I'm thinking that its probably gonna be VR ;) Now all we need is a Herodotus to complement Palmer Luckey's Gutenberg.
Josh. This article is great and very helpful. Also I would like to know if you have any plan to write more articles on AWS that are more in depth.

Few examples such as:
1. What are the security measures somebody needs to put in place to host a HIPAA compliant Web app etc.

2. What are the popular stacks that can be set up on AWS without much hassles and with less expertise.

3. What are day to day activities required to maintain few web apps on AWS. etc
Nice! I wrote my own version of this in Go about 7 months ago. It's running in production and has been very reliable. You can find it here on my github account: https://github.com/JamesDunne/sslmux

I notice you haven't set any IO timeouts on your protocol sniffer. I had to add a read timeout because PuTTY (a Windows SSH client) waits for a packet from the SSH server first before sending any itself.
I don't think failure to sympathize with 'future self' is limited to sociopaths. I could give some common examples but I was up until 7am so I'm a little fuzzy at the moment.
> perhaps it's using some encryption key that never leaves the device

Don't they support multiple devices already (running the client on both a phone and a tablet)? Maybe they don't want to have this run on a desktop (either via API or JavaScript), because then curious people might reverse engineer it. Sort of like how Netflix has clients on locked-down Linux-based devices but doesn't support Linux desktops.
>two separate doses of 25 mg of psilocybin 3 weeks apart plus 6 weeks of daily placebo (psilocybin group) or two separate doses of 1 mg of psilocybin 3 weeks apart

I don't know how this compares to similar studies (if there are any similar studies) but microdosing is almost never done 3 weeks apart. That's usually the time frame done for macro dosing (but with multiple grams not mg).

Even the study at the top mentions that

>Reported microdoses identifed in observational research typically range from 5 to 20 μg of LSD and from 0.1 to 0.3 g of dried psilocybin mushrooms. Microdoses are most commonly used several times a week with various patterns of alternat ing days.
Thanks. I agree."The art of matching a problem with a solution with minimal effort" will be the core of software engineering The rest will someday be automated or delegated. (just like any other engineering field matured to that)
I really have to echo the person who replied to you on a different thread and ask.. why? What do you think you're saving the user from exactly?
Currently, discussion happens on the GitHub repo, though we've thought about putting up a Discourse https://github.com/json-api/json-api/issues/295
The difference in Denver is so significant that United actually swapped all the Houston-based 737s that came over from Continental in the merger with the Denver-based A320s from United. The 737 base moved to Denver and the A320 base moved to Houston.

The 737 has better performance with high-altitude takeoffs.
Well, that is not true. I'm shooting film my whole life (my father was a photographer and we had several cameras at home). I use digital for about 95% of my pictures, but I have more analog than digital cameras, all of them are in perfect shape and I use them regularly. My favourite BW film is Kodak Tri-X [0], which is still being produced. I'm also using Kodak Ektar, Portra and still have few rolls of Kodak E100, although that one is not in production anymore.

In a lot of states, including California, non-competes are illegal as a matter of course.

A lot of other states have restrictions on them.
Maybe because on the one hand they're 'liberalized' about it --you have the soaplands and the manga and the pixelation, everywhere --and yet, where it counts they reject it, to some extent.

But yeah, when it comes to fetishising societies and sex it's either Japanese or Swedes.
I know it is late but here is the explanation:

It was not my post and I care less about being downvoted and more about the problem that some people seems to prefer downvoting to explainating.

Downvoting, -in my opinion, is for things like redditism, clear breach of site guidelines etc. It is not for being uninformed (within reasonable limits) and certianly not for asking reasonable questions.
That's why I said free market (as per the colloquial definition) rather than a perfect market, which is the platonic ideal that real-world markets approximate to varying degrees. They certainly aren't magic and certainly get oversold by some, but they are how we allow (many) prices to be set in the US and are usually much better than the alternatives.

Customers of payment processors have plenty of choice: a business, such as Amazon, can choose whomever it wishes. (Of course customers of Amazon don't have visibility of processor, neither to they choose which services Amazon uses for cardboard recycling nor internet connectivity)
Certain old men prefer to rise at dawn, taking a cold bath and a long walk with an empty stomach and otherwise mortifying the flesh. They then point with pride to these practices as the cause of their sturdy health and ripe years; the truth being that they are hearty and old, not because of their habits, but in spite of them. The reason we find only robust persons doing this thing is that it has killed all the others who have tried it.

While true, there is definitely a difference between someone dying a natural death or dying from drug OD.
What proof is there that the police are not putting any effort into tracking down the perpetrators?
The idea that remote work is a solution to immigration is also a meme on Twitter. I'm not sure I understand it.

A San Francisco tech company can employ developers in Krakow to work remotely without dealing with visas. But those developers either need to be 1099 contractors, or loaned out from an outsourcing firm.

Both options are poor. Outsourcing firms for obvious reasons (introducing a middleman that serves no purpose whatsoever except to serve as a legal fig leaf). 1099 because (a) it creates a second class of employee and (b) because it's technically unlawful to classify full-time employees as contractors.
I mean, yes, but alas, my study habits are better with lectures and learning groups as a supplement to the written material. Any suggestions on specific books? I know just about any are good, however some are almost canonical(For example: Jackson is THE electromagnetism text, others will do, but just about everyone learns from Jackson. Is there such a thing with mol-bio?)
I viewed this as a trade-off. "If you can spare 35% more time, write your tests first. If speed is so important that you can slough off on testing at the end, don't."

Sometimes partially perfect and released beats better but later. (Perhaps not for Microsoft, but certainly for lots of their competitors) How many more bugs can you find with software "in the Wild"?

This isn't to say it's worth tossing crappy code over the transom, just that real tradeoffs do exist.

I suggest you check out the political compass. It’s a reliable indicator of political pref over time. We used it a lot in my public policy grad program
I don't think it was that expensive, but it was definitely more expensive than it should have been and was barely marketed by Samsung. No real surprise that it flopped.
Not really unprecedented though. I'm pretty sure the whole SVN repositories were published for clang, libc++, etc. when they were open sourced.
>I know Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and all the rest don't count as broadcast media but I feel like we got here in part because the 1987 elimination of FCC's fairness doctrine slowly allowed a shift in how we communicate with each other.

230 renders the Fairness Doctrine moot. Even if it still existed today.
I expect that your Azlo account (and mine) will move to BBVA and eventually PNC, like Simple (Personal Digital Bank owned by BBVA). See here: https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/07/bbva-says-that-it-is-shutt...

Azlo did a terrible job of letting us know to be honest, unless they don't know that if it will be part of BBVA or not.

Edit: I got this terrible canned response from Azlo.

"We're still working to understand exactly how this process will take place, and we're sorry that we don't have more to share at this time. That said, please rest assured that your account and experience will not be immediately impacted. We are still working out the timeline details with BBVA USA, but we expect this to be months, not weeks, and we will work with you as we learn how our closure will unfold.

We greatly appreciate your patience and please know that we're very sad about this; helping small businesses and entrepreneurs survive and thrive has brought us nothing but joy and fulfillment and we wish we could continue."

Guess I will be going elsewhere.

They are not the same. People cannot choose their genetics. They can, however, choose with whom they align politically, what things they say, etc. The law takes care to distinguish between things that are immutable and assigned at birth (with perhaps the exception of physical disabilities and religion) and things that are choices.
I do a lot of power training on the Peloton (had it for 4 years now, been doing power training for.. 2.5?)

I agree that "serious outdoor riders are not really Peloton's market", and it comes across in literally every piece of snobbery about how a spin bike can't simulate real road feel and you'll never get your proper position and couldn't possibly train the same muscles and so on. I just smile and nod. The bike world is full of snobbery.

The older Pelotons do NOT adjust their resistance dynamically, you're right. I wouldn't call it baffling. I only change my resistance a handful of times (okay maybe 10, including little tweaks) during a class. Honestly it's kind of nice having those micro-steps. What else are you doing? It's sort of like people who can't be bothered to use their turn signal. I'm just sitting there pedaling away. I might as well turn a knob from time to time.
True, but there are many delivery apps, and you can choose to be listed on only some of them, even if you're a small restaurant.

Likewise, at peak times when you can't take any more orders, you'll disable the least profitable app first.
Doctors prescribe these drugs because their benefits are proven by research. Depression in particular has a massive impact on society and it is understood that the benefits of the treatments outweigh the risks.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone prescribing MAOIs. There are better options with less side effects.
The equipment should've gone through EMC so it might just be the sheer volume rather than one or two offenders.
The problem with this approach is that once you hook it up online for the first time, ads can be cookied and still displayed once it goes offline.
I used to work in an area where taking drugs was prolific. I would sit in people's houses while they were stoned on marijuana and watched the same movie over and over again. Conversation was hard as they nodded off a lot and couldn't concentrate when they were awake. I don't need data to explain to me the dangers of smoking marijuana. I saw it in real life.

I'm sure there are some edge cases for the use of cannaboids. I am also sure those people who think legalising marijuana will reduce crime are wrong. As highlighted by this article.
Not familiar with the particulars, but server-side GA, has the same theoretical ability as the current Javascript-based GA. The only difference is that the client code is served by the first party, and not the Google servers.
Right now during COVID delivery apps may be their lifeline.

That being said, I imagine that once indoor dining operates normally again, and consumers are willing to eat outside, we are going to see a stampede off these platforms. The margins aren't very enticing.

I should hope it'd be obvious to most people that you don't actually need all of OO just to get that little bit of syntactic sugar. I'd also like to point out another obvious fact: this idiom completely breaks down when the subject happens to be more than one person, i.e: steve_and_irene.drink(water) whereas it works fine in the procedural case (thanks to varargs): drink(water,steve,irene,...).
There is a whole category of not-quite-smart Bluetooth devices that only do ringer and caller ID. A google search, or if you are looking for rock bottom prices, a search on Aliexpress for bluetooth ringer bracelet will give you many options.

I don't think there is a particular reason why OO became popular here. There are several ways to do it, the choice between them is fairly close to arbitrary, and one of them became popular.

While I'm no fan of OO as a dogmatic solution to every problem, the differences between it and any other reasonable approach are small for most problems, compared to the complexity of solving the problem itself.

As a Node noob, I have to ask: is the tone of this article indicative of the general attitude and style of the Node community?
MIT press has an excellent book, "The First Computers- History and Architectures"[1] that discusses a number of potential "firsts" based on varying criteria- well worth a read, if you're into this sort of thing. I'd agree that the Z1 was the first complete, working machine that I consider a computer.

As an alternative to Photoshop and Markup you should also try my app, jMockups [1], a web based high fidelity mockup tool. I launched it on HackerNews about a month ago [2] and you can already mockup most existing sites with it. You could create the mockup in this tutorial in about 10 minutes (complete with the gradients and 960gs integration). If I wasn't on vacation and using my iPhone at the moment, I'd show you :)

I really do need to get some examples up there...

This is a subject that is endlessly debated in gun and military circles. This is one position on one end of the spectrum. There are good points on all sides, much of which is complicated and ambiguous. HN is no place to get into such an involved subject. Suffice it to say, whole books have been written about military weapon choices by experienced soldiers.

What does that have to do with anything? Successful photo studios can be quite profitable businesses, generating quite a bit of income.
Well, you can do a setTimeout with just 1ms delay or use window.postMessage when it's available. I must admit though that it is kinda counter intuitive how "swapbuffer()" is called only implicitly when your top level function finishes. But it doesn't work too bad.

I found that the GC is usually not a problem in any browser when you want to animate something smoothly in <canvas>. Plugins in FF (like Firebug or the Echofon Twitter Client), or things like an AJAX request however can result in stuttering animations.

Can you elaborate your statement about "(...) dealing sanely with off-screen canvases"? Do you mean things like double/tripple buffering?

Edit: For the record: the particle animation runs extremely smooth in Safari on my 2 year old Macbook Air. As far as I can tell, Safari on OSX currently has the most "direct" and efficient way to draw Canvas elements.
Throwaway account.

I personally wouldn't trust Lamo with any information, from past experience.

Few things you should know about Lamo:

1) He loves attention, he will go to some length to make noise so that people will talk about it/him.

2) He was responsible for leaking his own movie on bit-torrent.

3) Lamo was responsible for leaking wikileaks donor list and he bragged about it to me.

I personally don't have high regard for Wikileaks either, as they have their own biased spin on their leaks.

Bottom line. If you are responsible for seriously damaging leaks on the most powerful government in the world the last thing you want to do is to talk about it with someone who has questionable ethics. I also think Bradley Manning is an idiot.

mmm, that what I think would happen, at least it's what seems more intuitive. If you could remove the very promiscuous infected people from the pool of available partners quickly (better detection) that could solve the issues I think. The article does point out that increasing the encounters of monogamous people would reduce the amount of encounters from the most promiscuous people. Not sure this would occur, what says the promiscuous people would have more encounters now that the pool of available partners increased.

Sure, and you can write JSON editors and namespace extensions and query languages and libraries with extensions for those query languages and then you find out that the JSON schema language isn't very good; so you make a new one and editors for that new schema language, and then you write a language to translate one JSON document into another one, with a schema for that new language of course, in all 5 of the flavors of schema languages.

And then we're 10 years into the future and we're seeing this exact same article again, except with s/JSON/some simple JSON replacement/g and we're back to square one.

JSON has its uses, it's quite nifty in its ease of use for doing ajax stuff, but imo the point of the article was to point out that xml vs json is a nonsense comparison much like 'sql' vs 'nosql' databases.

To the idea of replicating the experiment, replicating it as closely as possible is exactly what the statistical methods assume. The other concept you're speaking to seems more like establishing causation or just generally understanding when the observed effects do or do not result. That seems better as a separate study altogether.
This can lead to amusing results in languages where enunciation, word choice or even choice in grammar forms are more strongly biased by a speaker's gender. Not that breaking down those barriers a little isn't interesting in its own right, of course, but depending on the language you should expose yourself to speakers from either gender to get the full range.
