Wow, from that era, but never encountered this (did not Usenet much though).

Still, maybe this kind of staggered onboarding into forums isn't that bad of an idea. Its not like a site couldn't enforce it. Sign up to join. Get email indicating when participation begins.

That's fair; I suppose Apple has traditionally stuck with "safe" electronics, as in stuff that is unlikely to be able to kill you. It's unlikely I'll be able to do anything with my iPhone that is likely to cause me any permanent harm, at least not accidentally.

Not a Buzzfeed fan, but I came across this and it has a good message.
Do xfinitywifi hotspots permanently authenticate clients based only on their MAC addresses? A malicious client could easily find the MAC address of any device connected to a xfinitywifi hotspot (by using e.g. airodump-ng [0]) and then spoof that device's MAC address on their own computer to access the internet via the hotspot without any authentication.

The metaphor works better when you imagine the courts as part of the runtime (or similar). The comments are available for us to use, as citizens, but when the system is executing, it only cares what's in the code.

Indefinitely. I might eventually go through and remove notepads that haven't been touched in months and only contain a few characters.
Currently, if you add a + to the end of any URL it will switch to a monospace font.

I like that its impossibly simple, but I've thought about adding some more filters like that.

I might also just add support for cmd-b and cmd-i to make the font italic, but right now it's actually just a styled textarea. If only -webkit-user-modify was already supported outside Webkit :(
Thanks a lot for your question. I would love to hear more about your company's needs.

Free services have their limitations. If you want to ship a product that can backup out-of-the-box, without any customer configuration, good luck doing that for free. Save yourself the pain and use RestBackup. My management API lets you create and manage thousands of access urls, with per-url limits. A software vendor can use this API to generate an access url for each application license that they sell. This way each customer's data is separate and secure and the vendor maintains control of the charges incurred by each customer. Paid services like RestBackup can offer these kinds of management features while still remaining economical for commercial software vendors.

I'm not interested in competing with free services. I want to build a product that folks will pay for.

Omar (I am assuming that is your name by your username). I am pretty slammed right now, with some projects but should be freeing up here soon. If you want to drop me an email, it is in my profile I may be able to give you a hand. I have mentored a good deal of developer and have found that it helps improve my ability to transfer knowledge to others. Just shoot me an email and I will see if I can help.
Decidedly speculative, but when Apple released that firmware update which caused people complained it had weakened the ANC effect there was talk of it being a response to this.

...then again was just a theory based on precisely zero hard facts.
I think CheapProcessedVeganFood (Big Soy, and food processors downstream of Big Soy) is being more opportunistic then causing. The case against meat is very wide and much of it is based on more solid science then the anti-fat science 50 years ago. I suspect in the next decade we’ll see a very clear connection between lower meat/dairy consumption and better gut health, which will explain most of the health benefits we see in a plant based diet.
Prisoner with car keys: not useful. Prisoner with a phone: useful.
Some are very likely panhandling for drug money. Others are probably panhandling for better food than they can find from the outreach shelters. (I've seen many folks in this coffee shop that I frequent from the nearby homeless shelter.)

I would be supremely unhappy if some little kid latched on to my leg and tried to drag me. How is one supposed to handle that sort of situation?
I was really a little bit disappointed to learn that go (touted for it's goroutines) doesn't have actors, i would love to have the erlang style, network aware actor model in a language i belief i could learn easily ;)
Without that, i don't see so much noveltly :(
All in all i don't see how goroutines can compare to the Erlang model at all (
Really

As an EE turned "software engineer" this bothers me, a lot.

I like the EE part of it, but I prefer thing that change more easily and are more "playful" (not to mention today hardware is at the mercy of software, so you take the reference design and go with it)

But I've come into situations where I uncovered a HW bug (in the chip reference board implementation, no less) that only manifested itself because of something specific in software (in the HDMI standard - or better, things from the standard inherited from things like VESA)

The Software Engineer see ports/memory to be written to and doesn't know what happens behind that

The Hardware engineer sees the "chip" and its connections but doesn't realise the rabbit hole goes deeper "ah this is a simple USB device, only 8 pins" now try communicating with it
That's a good point. Although, so far, the project has evolved pretty well, so it doesn't seem to remedy a current problem.

An alternative strategy to ensure it to do so in the future, could be to build a team of open source contributors to take charge of the further development of the project. As a user, I would prefer this, as it doesn't have the inherent conflicts of interests that a premium/free model has.
For what it's worth, this fork of nginx seems to be actively maintained, and appears to have viable sponsors:

From my cursory reading, it actually adds some significant features. Perhaps it's worth considering.

The maths works when you are acting along the same vector(s), so things like king:male ~= queen:king work. In that example you are doing maths along the 'gender vector'.

In you water/boat/plane example I'm not sure what you are expecting. It seems unlikely that there is a 'planeiness' vector one can move along to find concepts like that.
Why would I want you to decide for me if I should keep my messages or not?

Anecdotally, yes, it has on the whole.
The people who literally stormed the capital earlier this week, some of whom brought equipment like zipties with the intention of kidnapping/hostage taking. Those specific people who we all literally just saw doing the thing on basically every TV Channel while some of them literally livestreamed themselves doing it. This is in no way ambiguous at all.
which is weird, because $1k - $2k retail prices per some electronic modules, like ECU, are not unusual (couple friends had issues with their car where the only solution is the replacement of the ECU). That is the price range of pretty decent laptops, which includes not only chips and such, but also display and batteries.

Your list was pretty narrow in scope until this one. ToS could contain anything and be used to censor speech for any reason.

In my opinion an ideal position is somewhere between the two extremes - promote the use of a single official client and server and let 99% of users use just that, but allow the development of alternatives for those that want them.

There are more possible stances than just "we disallow third party clients" and "we strongly encourage third party clients".
> Content organization is key.

It isn't, except in narrow domains where a strong taxonomy makes sense. The success of Google and social media platforms is built directly on this fact.
Ha, what a timing.

Couple days before, I saw MTV's Facebook Diary. In it, there was Pedram, a Facebook engineer who uses a standing desk. At first I thought "he must be crazy" etc. Just yesterday though, I got the "trend" and converted my computer workspace from a "normal desk" to a standing desk.

Other cool people who use a standing desk (and swear by its name): Gina Trapani, Marco Arment—even form US gov member Rumsfeld.

Will do a series of blog posts that detail the process. It's been a hell of a ride, and still is.
It never ceases to amaze me how "easy" everything is for Tom Friedman. Especially given his complete lack of any real experience.

It was just a couple of months ago that he was talking about how "easy" it was to design a product in the US, prototype it in Taiwan, manufacture it in China, setup customer service in India, get a graphic designer off of 99designs, blah blah blah. (Come to think of it, he's been saying some variation of that for an entire decade...)

International business is easy! Scaling to Amazon levels is easy! (And yes, less of a challenge in 1999 than today, but still: not "easy"...)

How does this hack keep getting work? Bigger question: how many people have been led astray by this pied piper of the globalized/information age?
I agree its a problem. I use the repl a lot and bild up the functions and debug with prints witch is ok because you can print anything (not like in VB). I know that they are working on it so I hope it will get better.

For me, however, its not a reason to quit.
Backbone.js (http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/) is a great alternative to SproutCore if you're turned off by the gem install.
I receive emails like this from time to time. I just delete them. I really don't care if some company owns mystartupname.obscuretld, good for them. I think buying anything other than .com, .org, and .net is really a waste. Even .mobi and .co seem completely useless. Unless, of course, your main site is another TLD e.g. angel.co.

The main use of a TLD is to make it easier to type instead of IP addresses. Unless you're afraid your customers are going to start typing in yourdomain.asia on accident and actually think they are on the correct site, just ignore this.
"Bounties of under $100 will be awarded as Tarsnap account credits. Bounties of $100 or more will be awarded as Tarsnap account credits or via US dollar cheque depending upon the recipient's preference."

If we accumulate $100 worth of Tarsnap account credits, can we exchange them for real money? Or perhaps food / shelter?
Friedman has not made a career out of being consistently correct.

I don't generally agree with Matt Taibbi, but he does a great job dismantling T.L.F. here:

In 2011, having different releases dates per country is not relevant anymore.

May I ask an honest question? I cannot understand why Jamal Khashoggi is mainly referred as a "journalist". Reading his Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Khashoggi), apparently he is a Saudi dissident, a critic of the Saudi government. Yes he did write lots articles for newspaper, mostly criticize the Saudi government. But does this make him a journalist?

According to the Wikipedia page, I don't think he was an independent journalist. He had connections with the Saudi government and other organizations.

Quote: "After his second resignation, Khashoggi maintained ties with Saudi Arabian elites, including those in its intelligence apparatus. In 2015, he launched the satellite news channel Al-Arab, based in Bahrain outside Saudi Arabia, which does not allow independent news channels to operate within its borders. The news channel was backed by Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and partnered with U.S. financial news channel Bloomberg Television, it was also rumored to have received financial support from the King of Bahrain, Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa.[69] "

Quote: "In December 2018, The Washington Post revealed that Khashoggi's columns "at times" were "shaped" by an organization funded by Saudi Arabia's regional nemesis, Qatar, including by proposing his topics, giving him drafts, goading him, and giving him research."

I am not saying it is wrong to be a political dissident, but those should disqualifying you from being called as a "journalist", right?

What is the user voting for? The stock itself? Or the reasoning behind the submission? What will you do about multiple submissions on the same stock, say AAPL, that could flood the frontpage?

Are Tesla's actually more locked down than any other modern brand of car?

None give source code for the ECU...

Tesla's seem to have a rooting and hacking community, which at least gives you more power than a closed source blob that nobody has gotten root on like every other manufacturer.

This is one of the reasons I really like Vultr. They have a simple interface and their pricing has always been solid for me. I don't ever go to sleep worried I'm going to wake up with a $10k bill.

At one of the companies years ago a developer accidentally leaked an API credential on GitHub and the company woke up with a $30k bill.
At my job, our PMs don't suggest any time frames, they ask all the devs for the expected effort instead. More discussion and agreement then by the people actually qualified to say. Of course we do still have some deadlines but that's also not in the PMs control as they're external factors
In the real world when you place a transaction, how do you pay a fraction of a cent?
This app you use is using 20 years old UI concept that has been replaced by SAP a few times. But thanks to the almost eternal compatibility it still works. SAP products have many weaknesses and they are always late and not the best adopting the new trends. But a lot of blame they get is caused by poor implementations in one side and the customers not adopting the newer options for another.

SAP apps are internal and very sensitive to changes, so usually they don’t get priority, but at least you can thank that using such an old app designed for old windows terminal still works. It should just be replaced, but SAP usually leaves that decision to customers and this delays the change a lot
This just suggests to me you've not paid attention to news reports around big services shutting down, as Archive Team gets brought up regularly in those instances.

Nothing wrong with that, and asking the question is fair enough, but doubling down on it in the face of being given references to who they are that are easy to verify gets a bit tiresome.

Especially since this is a group prominent enough to have a brief but well cited Wikipedia page [1] with references to media appearances in Wired, The Register, PC World, Technology Review, OnTheMedia, Techdirt, BBC, RadioNZ, CBC, New Scientist and others.

You can also find Jason Scott on HN [2], and his comments will point you to a number of other HN threads discussing archival, some of which are relevant to Archive Team.

In Australia, phone directories don't generally include mobile phone numbers, and with the massive shift from landline phones to mobile phones over the past decade, this means many people are completely gone from the phone directory. I suspect it may be a similar situation in other countries - the phone directory still exists, but is increasingly useless.

The view of the sensitivity of phone numbers and home address as PII has changed with this trend too.
That was pedantic indeed, sorry.

My main concern really is the over-cleaning of surfaces. Those products are nasty.
Were you drunk when you created this?
So... how do you test it for correctness???
The points you are attempting to make can probably be made in a more mature and respectful manner. Just because someone's opinion differs than yours doesn't mean they are an "angry person" or "awful" at what they do.
This.

I've been playing out with Cargo and the Julia package manager and it's so nice to have a consolidated way of dealing with dependencies, included their build-systems.

I've now resorted to setting up a template project for myself [1] that uses CMakes ExternalProject_Add to pull in dependencies, configure and build them. ExternalProject_Add is so finicking though. How I'd love a packages.json solution for C++, where I can specific standardized libraries or Github/Bitbucket repositories not provided by the distro/package manager.

I'd love to see a Homebrew fork morph into a cross-platform package manager for C++. Would make my life so much easier.

Usually the claim is then you goto your boss and say "see? i did 2x my coworkers and want a raise of 2x" . In reality there is a ton of FUD, lack of transparency etc. which stop that from happening.

Old days war story. In the early 90s we had a computer center (we still do) here where we could all use computers if we were with an academic or school institution. This was a few years before web, around 1992. I think.

This primarily consisted of a single SPARCstation with SunOS 4.x. and a bunch of VT320 terminals (and a few IBM ones). I was in grade school, there were high schoolers here and there and mostly people in college using systems for primarily IRC and gopher.

I was learning C at the time and heavily into graphics programming so I wanted to use as much system resources as possible - which of there weren't many. So I had this cunning plan where I wrote a simple (I was grade school) C program that basically malloced as much memory in a loop as it could get and kept it. I figured that there was no quota for memory as there were for hard disk space. I ran the program I wrote into background (&) to get the process id and waited.

Program ate all the available memory and, presumably, started trashing the swap until all of the running processes were extremely slow and/or unresponsive. I watched as people around the room started to close their programs (IRC, gopher mostly) and gave up on using the system. As soon as most of them were gone, I killed the program with pid I had before. It was so effective even things like ls wouldn't work, only kill. I know it was a dick move, but I was a kid and even kind of proud of what I did back then.
I think just as taking him out of context is bad taking the context out of his statements is bad.

He has been using rhetoric of the kind they have accuse him of for a long time now but is always careful to never directly call for violence.

Doublespeak is part of his grifting strategy after all. You would need to see how the extreme groups reacted to those tweets. If they used similar verbiage to what Twitter says I think at this point holding Trump to that as proof of bad enough speaking is fine.

Honestly the reality is his tweet history earned him the ban but pointing to one set of tweets is easier PR.
You might be interested in The Billion Prices Project, which calculates price changes by scraping online product prices. They make the data available.

> You don't need to install a JVM to use them, you don't need to worry about keeping it updated... it just works. Whether you're on linux, mac or windows... again, it just works.

That's because the dependencies are included. You can bundle JRE with your Java app and it will "just work" too. You can also ship a native application that "just works" too. There's certainly nothing inherent about Electron apps that make them easier to use. In fact, I'd say many of them _aren't_ easy to use by nature of them not following OS standards; each one has a new interface you have to learn.
Infant monkeys cling to their mothers 24x7. Until very recently the vast majority of humans slept in one room huts with the youngest child next to the mother. My kids had their own beds, but slept with me until nine or ten until they decided to prefer their own beds.
