Haha, definitely a scam - and a intelligent one when it first came out.

However, don't feel threatened by such claims. Get the domains you need now. Later on, when your website fingers crossed makes a bunch of cash and you're pissed at the squatters taking up ridiculous domain names, run to ICANN, file some paperwork, pay cash, and get your domains that are infringed upon.
> They have mapping software built into a couple hundred million smartphones... Could be a nice differentiating factor.

Open up Maps, hit the 'Find Places' button, and pick Restaurants, for example. There's a sponsored, very generic link for Groupon here; Google could do one better by adding a little 'offers available' symbol beside some of the restaurants.
Pity the websites text takes up only 20% the width of my monitor... text looks cramped and awkward to read while 80% of my monitor is blank white space...
sure, but physical access to someone's phone is a lot easier than being a carrier.

Since the white guy was the diversity hire here, I might, yes. But that's not usually the case, as I'm sure you know.
The source includes many other sources. So I don’t know how them being a conservative site has to do with anything in this context. They are not pulling the news out of their butts. You should decide to believe or not o believe by reading the material and checking the sources yourself. Not by their self-identification. Please read the article next time.
I do this with a desktop, so the plug thing is a non-issue really, but velcro is always an option if you don't care about aesthetics.
*rather than averaging it, I assume.
I definitely can second this, changing something about my tools can jump-start stuff.

Another example is "productivity apps". I was using one for ~1 year and it was going great until the last few months. I simply changed to a different one and now I'm using it much more than I was. I think just changing the stuff you use all the time is something that is under-appreciated
I don't disagree with a lot of your above reply, but this part in particular picked my interest, mostly because I don't understand how its not racist.

> They aren't saying "this man is unable to perform this role due to his race" in a racist-against-this-person way, they're putting additional structural checks in place as a preventative measure.

Its not about the intention of the emitter, its about the receiving end of it.

It seems that if we flip this so that the receiving end is part of a minority we would all think this is utterly racist independent of the intention, how is it not?

edit: typo
I think the whole project is just so fun. I contributed a couple of patches and the whole community behind it is so warm and welcoming. Its incredibly pleasant and refreshing to interact with.
How many americans let their car go past 4k rpm regularly? Those are the only people that wouldn't benefit from a diesels power curve. Though modern gasoline engines with a turbo is pretty close to the same experience.
CrashPlan since 2006, Mozy before that. Once every quarter or two, a full Time Machine to a USB drive.
IIRC, even companies like Toyota who were not in trouble wanted to keep the supply chain around and thus favored the bailout.
Meh, I just read it as an anti-joke. I think you guys are getting worked up over nothing.
I wouldn't call decentralization a hair-shirt. I mean, I take your point; it makes certain things more difficult to implement. But it's a tradeoff, not a pointless sacrifice. There are huge advantages. The most obvious one to me is "keep your personal identifier when you change providers". Just like email.
Espresso is breaking snippets that come out every day. I see it is as stuff that hasn't been written up for the weekly yet.
It's perfect, since nobody can ever prove they're not fooling themselves. Perhaps I'll keep fooling myself until I die and die a fool.
Arguably people are still trying to "fix" jabber. For example XEP-0280: Message Carbons should help with multiple clients and XEP-0313: Message Archive Management (trunk Prosody, released Gajim, patches for Pidgin) finally bring an archive of messages synchronized between clients. Other extensions like XEP-0138, XEP-0198 or XEP-0237 would help mobile clients (e.g. Conversations for Android).

My only gripe is what took so bloody long. Google Talk debuted 10 years ago and IIRC had an online unified message archive (in gmail) for as long as I remember (2007?). It took 8 years to replicate that feature? "Good enough" ethics at work indeed.
I had a conversation about this with a friend yesterday.

What I would like to understand, is what the difference is between one incurable terminal condition and the next is, and why we're culturally stuck on trying to divide things up into "approved" and "not-approved" categories.

Death happens for everyone. Most everyone, if they make it to very old age, will have degenerated physically and mentally from where they once were. I wonder, if our sympathies are telling us to consider whether a person with X condition should be allowed to end their life, whether that same thought process shouldn't consider all end-of-life conditions to be equal, given their shared terminality and expectation of degeneration.

Or, on the flip side, should we think terminality and expectation of degeneration in these cases is not enough, whether it is appropriate to accept it in this subset of cases.
Looks great! I'm pretty comfortable with the podman command line, but here's another (text-based) management interface that is well done:

i used to have this app. like many it sold for a single price initially, then later someone else bought the rights to it and it wanted a subscription and became loaded with trackers.

So I think its the trackers part that makes it bannable.
Almost - they get the little broadcast icon under the message
I did give it a careful read, and dislike how you assume I did not.

As the rebuttal paper puts it, "neither fine-tuning nor intelligent design is required when sample spaces are viewed through the lens of evolutionary dynamics."

I agree. Where in their paper do they consider this standard criticism to ED, and point out that the criticism is un-founded?

Indeed, as they themselves point out (when talking about the creation of the universe, "A probabilistic argument presumes adequate knowledge of (the limits on) the space of possibility. It presupposes that current knowledge provides an accurate, unbiased statistical account of, or means of determining, what may or may not happen by chance." And we don't have that, so can't use this approach to determine if there was intelligent design.

Where has ASC been shown to be an effective of model for evolutionary processes? The relevant paper by Montañez says:

> Following Behe, let us say a system is irreducible if it contains at least three well-matched components that contribute necessarily to a core function, such that removal or mutilation of any of the components causes the system to cease functioning with respect to the core function.

That is a definition, which is good enough for a mathematical model. But does it model biology? No!

It's well-known that evolutionary systems may lead to such systems, therefore the existence of irreducible complexity in a given biological system does not mean evolution couldn't have happened, or that intelligent design must have occurred.

So how does ASC connect to the goals of this paper? Shrug. You're the one who read it carefully enough, yes?

As to "is it normal to respond to blog post criticisms in a journal article".

Why are you even asking that question? My pointing to a blog post was because it was easy to find. I am not an expert in pseudo-scientific research fields like ID or YEC, nor am I an expert in the counter-refutations of that research.

Are you saying that no such counter-arguments have been published in the scholarly literature? Or are you saying that you will ignore me unless I can point to specific literature?

I never would have heard of these ID arguments and authors had I not been following the blog of an evolutionary biologist for 15+ years who has a special interest in pointing out flaws in creationist arguments. Do you really think most biologists are trained to recognize ID authors, or understand when "design" is meant to only mean "intelligent design"?
Well the accountant doesn't write articles usually.

I feel like it might be a wide net cast to include him, but seems valid.

Still, worthwhile asking the question IMO.
No but in the next couple days. I actually wanted to go with the strictest copyleft license, but there was a discussion earlier about dual-licensing, which left me quite confused. I'm not very knowledgeable at all in these matters and am taking my time to decide.
What does it look like to actually write a program ontop of Matrix? Eg i have a key value store that i'd like to use Matrix (or IPFS/etc) for the P2P layer. Is it a lot like IRC channels that you connect to, pushing data into them and getting data out from other clients in the same channel?

Ie is it a series of messages? Or is it something more advanced; with built in conflict resolution or other P2P-y features?
not true, i don't see anyone on my street plugging in and we get -30 or lower some days, though probably not good for the engine but yes they will start no problem.
Classifiers aren't unique to ASL or signed languages, though how they're expressed does differ somewhat due to the medium. For example in Japanese, counting objects requires classifiers, like 'hon' for cylindrical objects or 'nin' for people.
If this isn't true for you, you may not be solving hard problems.
The alternative is their money goes somewhere else, possibly to those more politically aligned.
This is amazing. Kudos rust team for nearing this milestone.

I use rust for a (to be released -- comment with your github if you want early access) Bitcoin Smart Contract embedded domain specific language (edsl) that operates sort of like a circuit meta-programming language. Having const generics will drastically simplify my code and enable greater "structural type safety" (checked at the rust level rather than as a part of my edsl).

They're not wrong when they say that this is the most highly anticipated feature :)
You don't have to make it for me haha. This is not a product specification and I am not a demanding customer. It's a hypothetical command that popped into my head while browsing a site with hacker in the name.

It's also a command I could throw together in about an hour with a bit of bash if I really wanted it. Mix in a bit of curl, bit of whatever the sendmail command is these days, bit of Twilio. Job's a good'un.

For the record "sprinkle some AI on it" is if statements, it was a yoke.
Corporate communications is not journalism, so what's your point?
I started using Java in the 90's and worked for Sun back in the day, so I have a reasonable amount of experience with it.

Kotlin is a much better Java, and these days if I need to use the JVM, I will use Kotlin.

However, I do feel that there is a huge missed opportunity in making something that is not just a better Java, but a better language. Kotlin has a lot of annoying limitations, almost all of which are there because the JVM doesn't allow better implementations using first-class JVM functionality.

One of my favourite examples is multimethods which would be an amazing improvement. However, the JVM can't do dynamic dispatch on multiple arguments, so Kotlin will never get it. Sure, if they implement it, calling Kotlin from Java would be more complicated, but that really shouldn't restrict how the language evolves.

Another thing I'd like to see changed is better support for DSL's. Some nice stuff has been done with the limited facilities that are available, but it always seems like I'm fighting the language when making DSL's. As someone who writes a lot of Lisp, I'd really like to see a macro system.
Anyone can propose changes to the JVM. The Java people did. The Kotlin people didn't. And the Kotlin approach generates bad (irreducible) bytecode.
Have only used Kotlin with Spring Boot for server side REST api and the resulting code was, a lot of the time, very un-digestable. Quite ugly to the eyes.

Looking to give Kotlin another shot for non-Android API consumption and it seems like Ktor is a frontrunner. Looking at Spring WebClient to consume a JSON API makes my eyes hurt compared to other languages.
Skeptical of what exactly? They fattened their long term sponsorship check by what, a millionth of their revenue? Less? What changed meaningfully? Do these “skeptical” people contribute to or even follow Python development at all?
Damn, Canadians and Aussies are allergic to open data apparently.
Why do you say so?

I do think kotlin isnt only aiming to the Java Virtual Machine, it is mucho more.
Thanks for the feedback. Would a selectable theme help? Would you use a feature that switched away from a dark theme to a light theme?
People say lots of stuff that they would regret seeing on the front page of the New York Times. They mean something different when published as isolated quotes for a general audience than part of a conversation between people who know each other.

So while it's true that this might be a "gaffe" in the sense of accidentally telling the truth, it could also be that it's not what it seems to be. When every word you say is scrutinized, you take a lot more risks that any of them will be seen as "gaffes", and the only way to prevent that is to avoid being quotable.

The adversarial nature with the press and the public is a lesson that a famous figure does have to learn. Not the only one, but an important one.
This is wildy uncommon. Borderline unheard of. In every job I've had, internally managed services failed with unscheduled outages at least monthly, sometimes for multiple days at a time. 3 years of up time? If I was hiring for system administrators and a candidate told me they had achieved that, I would just think they were lying.
> they don't need to go out and attempt to overthrow the government because of it

Yeah, they do.

The election is what defines the legitimate government; if it really had been falsified[1], then anyone who participated in the falsification would be a usurper, and the government instated by the falsified election would be fake. If something like this actually happened, then it would hardly be insane to consider it your patriotic duty to put a stop to it.

The metaphor is overused as hell, but it is apt: Trump shouted "fire" in a crowded theatre, and now he's acting all surprised that a few people got trampled in the rush to get out.

Anybody who believes him at this point obviously has brain worms, but being a notorious liar doesn't exempt you from libel and sedition laws. It is also irrelevant whether the mob sincerely believes the election was stolen, or whether they're using it as an excuse; slander is still slander.

I joined a team that did this. Unfortunately I’m pretty picky about games and hated the one they played. Tried to get into it for the sake of team bonding but I just really didn’t like it.
Sagemath includes a lot more math, esp. number theoretic stuff, and is a quite large. (~1.6G compressed) Sympy is _much_ smaller and integrates more easily into python code that isn't solely mathematical.
I know we won't be able to get an answer to this question unless it actually goes to court (and I haven't seen anything about this any court), but couldn't you take any MIT licensed project, replace the license with your own and it'd be legal? My understanding is the license means you're allowed to freely modify anything related to the project (unless someone has a trademark/copyright of course)
Google loves to ignore search words nowadays. Even quotes won’t force it. Ugh.

At least they’ve added « Must Include » options sometimes.
I’ve performed thousands of interviews. Happy to talk and help you debug the issue. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bercovich
In my workplace qwant is the default SE and I'm sorry to say it, but its awful. Maybe if you search in French it will be a bit better.

I'm using DDG and I'm quite happy about it. Very rarely I switch to google and if I do it usualy to search some location specific things like nearest pharmacy.
Well done Smugmug.

Perhaps you should diversify into cardiac monitoring!
Which essay are you referring to ?
A great analogy for the small, private mailing lists that seem to be every community's back channel.

Thanks for sharing.
I get a bad gut feeling when i read posts like this. It is the same feeling i get when i watch MTV or elimidate or something.

The MTVification of Entrepreneurship! That sums up the feeling i get when reading this article and many others like it.

It just feels really... hollow. Like you are building an RPG character based on the "What We Look For Article". Spent all your points on naughtiness.

Seriously, yuck. Stop it.
I didn’t read that as advice on a word processor at all. He should try it out (not actually use it) to see what all the fuss is about. To see why people don’t want to give it up. Emacs is not even comparable with Google Docs. They are different things.
FWIW, the video streaming part of Netflix does not run in AWS (but, AIUI, pretty much everything else does).
Just curious what do you guys use for KB or distributed project management that doesn't dictate a per user license?
Why would you not? I don't even like philosophy, and I wouldn't assume they're just publishing nonsense.
I run a VPN server via Vultr, and I've wondered if it would be worth the hassle to rotate instances once a week to solve this issue. So, every week, run a script that spins up a new instance, sets up the VPN, and shuts down the old one. If you use DNS to point to the server instead of a static IP address, this can be automated completely without even touching the VPN clients. Hell, if it works well enough, I don't see why you couldn't do this every night.
Contract rates in London seem to be just shooting up. Two years ago £600/day was a "high" rate. Last year £700. This year several places are offering £850/day and I've heard rumours of £1000/day or more.

If you want to live in Austria, why not work in London and just commute ;-)
are you doing this? Whats your recommendation as for a country to incorporate in?
In Paris, its right on target
Honestly, I don't know. Would be nice to have experience in this area. :-)
Completely OT: I'd consider this to be one of the worst domain names ever.

Amazon is a very data oriented company, and one can reasonably expect this to get tested to death. As one data point, I have been using Amazon since the bubble, and they sold me more books in 2010 via the Kindle than they did in our first ten years together. I expect that the margins were substantially more attractive, too.

We are not at the tipping point yet for deadtreeBooks, but I do not think we are far.
If it's up to font rendering, you would specify the language tag for each of those individually which would render the appropriate font (as you are writing that country's name in its language).

Though that's far more difficult for the laman, and markdown certainly doesn't seem to have any language markers.
If you can't do it yourself now,
a) partner with someone who can
b) learn how to do it so you can do it yourself
c) hire someone to do it

I'd like to imagine that the community surrounding the open source project is a perfect place to start looking for someone to hire to build it out from 90% of what you need to 100%.
I've found that even the tiniest of donations rockets your request right to the top of the queue. Especially for hardware.

Want that strange little T1 card to work in asterisk? Give them one and watch the magic. Its way cheaper than hiring someone to code it for you.
You _may_ be able to determine the number of radioactivity events (becquerels). But you will not be able to determine the type, or the strength of the radiation. So you will not be able to measure rem.

And rem is what matters for most purposes.

I'm eager to learn and absolutely concur on bringing someone in who is both knowledgeable and recognizes the importance of everyone knowing the ins and outs of their product.
Hiring programmers would be contrary to the goal of getting something for nothing.
Here's am answer to a very similar question in Quora, a list of things that a non-technical co-founder should be focus on while the site still being developed: http://b.qr.ae/eBYCk2

If after a 8-10 hours programming day you still can do any of these things (and do them well enough), you might not need a marketing&sales&business partner ;)
This is the route that I went... it starts at the beginning a teaches a lot of simple principles of programming. David Malan is engaging & fun to learn from, you can even follow along in real time (during fall & spring & interact with other people taking the classes remotely). I followed up with www.cs75.tv to learn some additional PHP, SQL, XML, CSS. I've been a marketing/product/seo/pr guy for 8 years and taking these courses have provided me with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of what the limitations and capabilities are. This has been invaluable when working with talented programmers who at least appreciate that I'm interested enough in what they're doing to learn the basics myself... sort of a mutual respect thing.
Some smaller companies depend on github.
I think its stupid, but I know of at least one ivy league university subgroup who depend on github for everything. Management wanted to outsource everything they could, they just saw developers and IT as cost sinks.
What would the use of open source software matter?
From a billing standpoint I'd just be signing up for a 3Mbps plan, or whatever it was they were offering. What the equipment actually allowed me to achieve is a separate thing.
>slightly bearish on Python/Ruby-like languages that do not address the concurrency problem.

I can understand this in the context of server side development. But Python is gaining ground in data analysis.
