Thanks for the link, and also thanks to the ancestor commentors for sharing more information.

Although I understand that the revenue and reality of marketing revenue is vast and in some ways unstoppable, this is quite a bit of complex and challenging engineering work which creates more surface area in browsers in return for privacy.

It's probably worth it on the whole, as long as it's done carefully, but for someone who cares a bit about simplicity, efficiency and being able to comprehend what's happening: will there be an opportunity just to disable targeting advertising (and thus the code paths and logic associated with it all)?

(I'll try to reason about this and work it out myself from the documentation; I do already see that there's a "Disable Ad Interest Groups", but I don't know if that's quite it, yet)
The idiot who stood at the Podium and shouted "Trump won the election" and the other "special needs" guy who took the podium in the Senate. Short of those actions it might have passed for a riot, and been trespass, but when it came to attempting to burn the elector's votes and harass the members of Congress, it became a violent attempt to overthrow the government. Had not the President said "take back our government" to the very people who invaded, the case would be much less than it is.
> I do eat meat, eggs, and lots of low-carb veg - leafy veg, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, chicory, aubergine, courgette, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, onions etc.

This is my point to the OP, if you're eating any of those things you are still an omnivore, even if you're a low-carb omnivore. They seem to be claiming to have been on a carnivorous (only animal products) diet for years.
I think it's a waste of time trying to argue with the USDT conspiracy theory crowd. I'm not really sure what's their problem; they clearly never traded the market or used it. Maybe it's a butt-hurt feeling from missing out on this decade best performing assets?

I'll give you a more sensible counter-argument: If you held USDT in the last 4 years (only) and actively generated yield (requires 1 hours work max per week), and periodically withdrew it (1-3 months) my reports show a 120% gain. This means if you bought $100k of USDT 4 years ago, you'd have withdrawn $120k into real dollars and still have $100k of USDT. In this situation, it's impossible to lose even if Tether is worth 0 tomorrow.

Yield have gone considerably down. This means traders now trust USDT more than they did a few years ago. This would also mean that traders who are into risk would not hold USDT, they would rather hold something else to get better yield. If USDT was risky, its total market cap will decrease, as it doesn't make sense to hold into it with low yield. That or the market will quickly collapse.

This can give you an idea (better than a stamped report from any AAA auditing firm) about how strong the USDT position in the market is.
> The killer app is decentralized, permissionless, open source, and censorship resistant network.

Yes, but what can I do with that other than toot/tweet/twit at other people and buy LSD tabs?
Just applied, but to be frank, I'm a bit hesitant given the bad press so far. Can you speak to the improvements you all have made recently to remedy those issues (mostly centered around customer support)?
My impression was that GM/Ford are, for investors, pension funds with a side-hustle making the odd car. But maybe this is out of date? Are the european manufacturers also like that?
I'm skeptical of this project's chances for success, but to be fair, the issue of access to computers is at least addressed (albeit in passing).

You're right, hunger and HIV are also important issues - not to mention access to clean water. That doesn't mean that only one problem at a time can be addressed.
private room with a free cable TV and internet. would he still download movies from torrents?
The site has been widely reported and officially confirmed elsewhere. But as you say, it's such a ridiculous country that it's likely impossible to parody in any meaningful way.
From a technical standpoint, Linux is a System V-style Unix and BSD is (unsurprisingly) a Berkeley-style Unix. One of the most striking differences (which he didn't mention) is the init system - SysV uses /etc/init.d/, while BSD uses /etc/rc.conf and the like. Also, see the "hier" (filesystem layout) man pages for FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier) and OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hier).

He responds directly to the "Chaos VS Order" bit on his response page, BTW:

"Chaos means that you're moving every which way at once. Linux (and its various distributions) are moving in all sorts of different directions, with very little real coordination. That means they're going to end up in a lot of places the BSDs, with their more careful and orderly progression, will only get to more slowly (if at all). A lot of those places are going to be icky and horrible, and places you don't want to be. But some of them are going to be absolute jewels, that you could never reach any other way.

Thus, Linux may hit lower lows, and they may even be more numerous. But the sheer number of people and projects pushing in so many different directions practically assures you of striking gold. You can't get that sort of serendipitous perfection, without accepting a whole lot of chaos and a lot of wrong turns." (http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/11)

He's being pretty diplomatic about it - I've read far less flattering descriptions of the Linux development model (http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html), though things have gotten better since 2003.
With respect, making life easier for browser makers is the worst possible reason to choose a feature which will be used by millions of documents (or not, in the case of srcset) over another with a better syntax. I'm not even clear why onload on an img tag would not also invalidate your img example above, but that doesn't even matter. Hacks for performance may be fine in browser or server code in some circumstances, but are absolutely not fine in a public document format like HTML.

Is the picture element containing source elements (like video and audio) still under consideration, or is srcset supposed to replace it somehow?
Looks pretty cool. After installing it, how do I enable the onepage mode?
I happen to agree quite a bit with the OP. As revenue from my startup grows, I see it as buying time back from consulting. This year it will buy about 3 months. Maybe next year it will be 6. Eventually I hope it to be 12+.

I'll never get rich, but eventually I'll be free to work solely on my startup without anyone else telling me what to do. No one will envy my car, but many will envy my lifestyle.
It sounds like the group is not part of the official Stanford bureaucracy -- as shown by the fact that the B-school allegedly banned students from joining (that's unclear to me, other than as evidence that it's not official).
Uh... without GMA500 support you're running Linux in either text only or 800x600 with no hardware acceleration. You call that usable?
It seems impractical to me. I'd rather just have one screen that's wide but not too tall. It's a lot easier to look across wider things than up and down tall things.
One way to work around it would be to just register for significant location updates, which are bound to occur as the user moves around. Those updates trigger a callback into the app, which could then check the timestamp of the last articles update, and fetch new ones if enough time has elapsed.
Largest website in the world? I wonder how many people actually go to the google page to search. I never do. I always use the browsers search box.
How do you explain the success of ActiveRecord? Do you think it's illusory? The exception that proves the rule? Something else?

http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2009/07/13/ending-the-...

"The fact that it took decades for the industry to arrive at something as useful as ActiveRecord in Rails is due primarily to the attitude that some language features [in this case, meta-programming] are just too powerful for everyone to use. "
Do you really believe that 4 years of Biden will turn the US into Venezuela?? And in order to prevent this, you're willing to fight to turn it into a de-facto dictatorship?

You have GOT to see the irony in your stance.

Two words: Functional Programming
> The parent comment literally says "and why have the attackers not been shot?"

No, it doesn't, nor does anything upthread back to the one that was originally mischaracterized as calling for murder, which says: “Everyone identified and involved in this should be arrested, tried, and if convicted executed.”

> It seems like gaslighting to say "Why haven't the protesters been shot" and then pretend like what was meant was "After they've been legally tried and convicted."

It also seems like gaslighting to invent a quote that was never posted, and then accuse someone of gaslighting based on that quote.
Trump was certainly cheated out of the elections, I hope it doesn't end with electoral college. The machinery behind Biden is astonishing, and they weren't even able to win fair and square.
No it didn’t just happen in Biden states, superior courts gave controlling precedents that state courts interpret election law
that doesn't mean it's not a good strategy - acquire IP for self, ignore IP of others until everything is in place.
Building on the history theme here; plenty of modern revolutions have been preceeded by a rise in polarising media. The french revolution had the pulp paper of Jean-Paul Marat [0], the soviets had Lenin's writings [1], and the Nazis had Julius Streicher's Der Sturmer [2]. It's not difficult to draw comparisons to Bannon's Breitbart here.

To be fair to him, you accused him of saying something he didn't.
An outward attack from this server against another doesn't necessarily register in bandwidth graphs. It all depends on the type of attack.
My first programming job was in a company like this. I was there 6 months and that made me question if I wanted to do development as a career or was cut out to be a developer. I moved into operations/ systems in another company.

I gradually fell back into development in my new job, did a computer science degree part time. Now I really enjoy programming/ creating.

There were warning signs before I ever accepted that job (which ignored because it was well paid). Now I know that money isn't everything and there's work out there where you simply couldn't pay me enough.
What does that have to do with taxing the wealthy though? Do you think the $3.5 trillion spent on covid relief has any relationship whatsoever with tax revenue?
Well, it failed to replace the F-16, for starters. And the A-10. It failed in becoming the NATO / Western end-all jet. It is expensive, there aren't that many. The stealth capabilities are lacking by modern standards. Maintenaince if expensive and the combat aircraft equivalent of an iPhone.

Compare that to the cold war fighters. High numbers, used by the majority of US allies and even comparable cheap. Desiged to be usable under cold war circumstances. And modernized to this very day.

The biggest issue I see, also with stuff like the FCAS (French and German Eurofghter / Rafale replacement) is cost. Just imagine you loose, say, 50 of them in a war against Russia or China. How many you can reasonably replace? At that price tag? All other enemies, you hardly loose legacy fighters against those. And that is not even taking training into account.

Well, the B-52 is still flying. Maybe it will reach 100 years of service.
Yeah I think this is a general truth (and it’s the inverse for women, where it starts easy and gets a little harder).

Early twenties dating for men is hard, particularly in a skewed place like the bay area.

If I had to guess it’d be about status (young men are pretty low status) and age preferences. If women generally prefer someone a couple years older, the ones that might be interested in you are in college when you’re 22 so are not really in the same dating market.
Then I would advise you try again. Our AWS bill is between 4 and 5 figures and we got dedicated startup account manager while on development within a week of asking.
No internal contacts, literally pinged support team and got it.
On the previous version of our website we actually dedicated the home page to marketers and had a link in the nav called "For Developers". The for developers page started to rank on google on some requests like "visual builder for react". We are revamping this page now and we'll add it again on the site.

Thanks for the feedback on the video, it's really useful. Makes me think that on the developer video we should probably start from a blank site and add a custom component in the editor right away.
Unfortunately. :(
> The F-35 is a Ferrari, Brown told reporters last Wednesday

It became a Ferrari due to feature creep and an enormously complex and expensive technology stack. The F-16 is not a Ferrari and NATO needs a multirole single-seat fighter that is affordable to purchase and fly.

My most charitable view is the F-35 became a jobs program for Lockheed Martin and subcontractors. People were trained and (allegedly) useful technology was developed. But the price tag appears unreasonable by an order of magnitude, and this puts no accountability on the program management or people signing the checks.

As for arguments about technology trickling down from the F-35:

* The argument needs evidence. I've seen no attempt to identify the value of the technologies developed against the time and money spent.

* Too much time was surely spent on integration and one-off details specific to the F-35 platform, and this is sunk cost unlikely to be recovered in future platforms designed by new teams.
You're arguing from a place where metaphors don't exist. Aside from people who have already questionable judgement, nobody treats "The customer is always right" as a literal dictum. I am not compelled to "Love that chicken from Popeyes" and I can stop eating Pringles after one.
Definitely a success for him. Not so much his investors. But it was obviously money they could afford to lose, so I guess I don't feel too bad for them.

One of those investors was Prince Muhammed bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, also known as “bonesaw”. What price a peaceful nights sleep?
Shouldn't datacenters attempt to minimize idle time though? A server sitting at idle is a depreciating asset that could likely be put to more productive use if tasks were rescheduled to take advantage of idle time (this would also reduce the total number of servers needed).
What is "proof"? It's that which will satisfy a reasonable person about the correctness of some statement. The Quran is proof.
Been coding about 20yrs, In my case its not as much as the IQ but the ability to switch perspectives. I have seen that when I code or debug for long hours often I lose that critical ability and I often repeat the same mistakes. Eventually I take hours to accomplish what I would in 30mins, thats when its time to wrap up.

but I should point out that long stretches of time are different from quite (context switch free) streches of time.
Darn, I had a handful of NumPy arrays which could use a fast encoder.
Not to mention all the "founders" who got to spend their days in a cool exciting office, and feel like they themselves were working at the next Facebook or Google.

I don't know much about the WeWork demographics. I wonder how many of these companies were venture-funded, self-funded... and how many were just elaborate schemes for burning through trust funds.

I'm sure many of them were hardworking people with legit businesses, and just saw this as a convenient and cool way to solve the problem of where to get their work done.
It is actually pretty interesting; that industry had the benefit of laws that state companies that are shutdown have to be compensated. For some weird reason, that does not apply to a restaurant.
Some people sold themselves into slavery, i.e. became slaves willingly, and were bought by a capitalist.

The idea that capitalism guarantees liberty is dangerous and absurd.
"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else." A classic Winston Churchill quote. Even if he never said it, it sounds like something he would have said.
I have a pre-commit hook configured to format staged changes. It uses husky and pretty-quick. With this approach, you should get standard commits, even if the user’s installed tooling differs.
Pretty low move by Zoom. Again. There is nothing in their interface letting users know they've been monitored. Nothing.
They know for sure, but they don't know for sure how long the immunity lasts. For some people at least, it doesn't last very long.
You should take a look at http://riemann.io
Which are an unmitigated disaster. What happens during inevitable bankruptcy? Social security needs to be administered by society, not business. Tax business if you want.
Perhaps initially, citation indexes were useful (i.e. they were a good metric to solve certain productivity issues), but lost their usefulness since people started to optimize and target that specific metric (along the lines of Goodhart's law).
You can view the demo without JavaScript and it mentions static site generation.
Yeah, I'm definitely not into those tests. It's so played out. This means that the only way I'm going to do one is if I want to work for the company just that bad. And Amazon is not it. If my passion was crushing competition in unfair ways, I'd just take steroids and be a professional athlete.
> Still, some people point back and use the evolving knowledge as argument that nothing is knowable and we shouldn’t do anything.

And some people point back and use the censorship of people who turned out to be correct as an argument that we were way too quick to leverage the 'misinformation' label to suppress the truth.
Seems like a cop out to me. God is also omniscient. Man did some things, but all within a predefined context that God created with complete ability to foresee how it would play out. Suppose we imagine that the story of Eden is real.

God has omniscience to know exactly what will happen. Even if you somehow claim that human free will overrides omniscience, which seems unlikely, an intelligent being could predict the outcome of the circumstances to varying degrees of precision.

The real Christian view, though not often admitted, seems to be that God doesn't really give a shit about earthly life because it's all irrelevant compared to eternal paradise in heaven. Jesus offering forgiveness makes it all good, because you get this infinitely more heavily weighted component to your infinite lifespan even if your earth life sucks. Which, hey, isn't wrong, given the premises.

I wonder if Reddit is ever going to fix their "you broke reddit" thing. I probably see that page a couple dozen times a year, and it's been going on since, what, 2014? Earlier maybe? It's like the Twitter fail whale. Except Twitter fixed their site.
Thanks for taking the time to type this up, it's really interesting.

It is fascinating to me that being underwater in a house is such a big deal to people; almost every car you see on the street is underwater yet people don't care nearly as much about that. The computer I'm typing this on is definitely "underwater" in that it's worth less than I paid. Almost every investment transaction (stocks, etc) are underwater the moment you make them because of transaction fees. If your ability to pay is unchanged and you don't need the liquidity (ie, you don't need to move today), I don't see the problem. You got the short end of the stick, sure, but it was your deal to make or not make in the first place.

Further, if you're considering a home purchase in financial/investment terms, you've got to consider the time scale - real estate operates in terms of decades. A lot of people got used to multi-digit yearly appreciation and to this day think anything else is a bad deal, when it's actually more on-par with other investment vehicles after the adjustment.

> Negative equity is decidedly here to stay, and will impact the market for years to come.

I wonder how much of this is because low-money-down lending (FHA, VA) has opened back up, with down payments barely (if at all) covering transaction costs. It could actually be a good indicator for affordability.

Anyway, I assume you're at peace with your decision and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. Just trying to understand the logic. No offense meant.

If the reason you are using a VPN is to avoid potentially untrustworthy middlemen, sure. But if you are after the privacy benefits of sharing an IP address with thousands, then a self hosted VPN won't help you.
Not sure I agree with 6. I find that if you develop for reusability and you're a bit creative you can actually reuse a lot (though it might depend on how tightly you define "other contexts"). I have to say that functional programming plays a very important role in this though.
People in America live in such a bubble and just think that anything that doesn't work in America can't possibly work at all. A common post on HN goes along the lines "trains are shit and could never be seriously used. I took a train once and it was dirty and slow"
It’s a bit of a mess right now. AWS is eating this market but frankly their products are not that great. Their ETL tool which does parallel execution and all is called Glue which is a cloud version of Spark. Glue is supposed to integrate with SageMaker which is basically your standard jupyter notebook experience. Spark though not that intuitive and is not the tool data scientists use for exploration. So data scientists explore and build model and then they rebuild them to run in Spark. Basically we would need a way to seamlessly scale pandas or R dataframes across clusters. Dask looks promising but it is facing an uphill battle vs aws and company and their inferior but convenient tooling.
> "cutting" a file faded out the icon

Cutting a file sets its hidden attribute. If you have turned on display of hidden files then they do indeed appear faded, but you have to be a fairly advanced user for that – for most people they will just seem to disappear.

If you cut or copy another file the the first file will be unhidden, and I suppose also on a clean shutdown. Overall it's still confusing for a normal user who doesn't see hidden files, especially if they intentionally used cut without paste to delete a sensitive file.
