Constructive critique:

Great video production quality/animations/etc. Fantastic (who did this?)

Voice talent...needs higher energy. Female perhaps?

Takeaways....

This product is intended to improve people's lives. In this ad, wakemate appears to keep people very marshmallow-looking.

I want to have an enough energy to hit the gym twice a day, not jiggle on a walk with a 30+ BMI.

Check out the FRS ads.

Finally I see Jeff's site on Hacker news. His pizzas are great, I've been to several of his pizza parties in Atlanta before he opened his restaurant.

Too bad he's only known for his pizza (and his rubix cube). He is also a very good hacker and developed a pretty snazzy C++ application framework.
Lack of captions is pretty much inexcusable. Especially for a scripted show.
Wouldn't it be simpler to just ban children from using the internet? They could just point those CCTV cameras at every computer to keep an eye out for violators. Pretty straight forward actually.

</sarcasm>
You'll need two phones at the moment, but in the future it's possible we could make the app support multiple devices.
I haven't heard of that one yet...looks pretty cool.
Does it have a snap-to-grid feature?
I liked the last paragraph. iTunes really is a terrible part of the iOS experience.
Free idea (worth as much as it costs!): You could franchise in other countries. Candy Korea, Candy Taiwan, that sort of thing.

Thanks for the good, clear write-up.
Further down it lists it as an indication of a trademark.
> It would be interesting to find out how Dotcom came to be entered into a NSA system as a target.

He's not in the United States.

Everyone outside the United States is a target.
It's also possible that the first developer gave 100% to his job, while the second blew it off to work on whatever he wanted.
If the numbers on this site are correct ($90-$100k average is what we all should be making) then some degree wages have kept up with productivity but none have really grown faster than it. That's still a problem, isn't it?
"Prior to the filing deadline, Tesla Motors reached out to Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls) and Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D-Austin) who agreed to file bills on our behalf. These bills would permit U.S.-based manufacturers of 100% electric- or battery-powered vehicles to sell directly to Texas consumers."

A silly band-aid to ridiculous legislation.
These neo-Calvinist arguments are absurd (and cribbed from the 1880s), and the sprinkling of the efficient market hypothesis on top doesn't make them any better. No one individual is billions, millions, or probably even thousands of times more productive than any other able-bodied individual. When you see these massive differences in wealth appear, they must either come from theft or luck, both of which are unfair because they reduce the rewards to labor of the vast majority of humanity and instead funnel unearned power to those least equipped to use it for our mutual benefit.
Managed with https://github.com/gmarik/vundle here are the plugins I'd say I use every day:

https://github.com/bling/vim-airline light weight, pure vimscript status line

https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim fuzzy file finder that mostly works

https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive very nice Git wrapper

https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic generic in Vim syntax checker plugin

Honestly, people seem to forget that this happened. They lose their shit at the slightest mention of Huawei/China but don't even have an issue using software released by the NSA[0].

Unpopular opinion, but if I had to choose between China and the U.S. spying on me, I would pick the one who's less likely to have me extradited from whatever country I am in or ban me from flying.

A combination of things you mentioned and more:

* US has been suffering from its postwar boom period hangover for over 40 years now. The job market isn't like it was due to other emerging economies now having their boom periods. All those dreams and aspirations that millennials were promised (You can be whatever you want! Follow your passion and the work will follow) were shattered and turned out to be contemptible lies perpetuated by the secondary education system and the job market as a whole. As a result, a whole generation is saddled with debt, and are delaying milestones of life progression (buying a house, having kids), indefinitely for many.

* The rise of the Internet and the millennials being at its forefront has opened up massive new markets in the entertainment section, most notably Disney. They own most entertainment IPs, and know that millennials want to relive their childhoods so they sell it back to them. Comic book movies aren't just a fad like 80s actions movies were; they're here to stay. And Disney wants adults to keep being obsessed with what are essentially children's movies. All the social media companies want you on their product all the time using it and sharing everything you can (especially the juicy controversial stuff that is polarizing the country, oh boy do they love those articles).
For a few years it seemed to me that updates to Photos on Android would silently flip the quality setting down from Original to "High" as in "compressed", so I was never sure if the images I wanted to backup in original actually were backed up or not. I never set it to "High" but it kept flipping back to that.

I raised, flagged, liked and did everything I could on the support forums to get the Photos GUI to report somewhere whether an image was backed up in Original or "High" quality. It went nowhere. And last I checked it was still impossible.

I now treat Google Photos as a last resort approxi-backup and do all my own offline backups to a HDD because I can't trust the metadata. And I'm one of those idiots who even pays for Google One.

(seriously, would a tag like "quality:original" stump the engineering team?!)

Edit: Ha! It's set back to "High" for me AGAIN!
I don't believe that MathML should be integrated in a browser:
MathML does not requires a lot of CPU, so you can get away with JS+canvas that implements the MathML spec.

By having it in the browser you are making the browser more bloated (more disk space, more memory, more cache misses) and possibly less stable/secure, even-though less than 1% of the people are going to use this feature.
Other issues include increasing the barrier of entry for new browsers, having to deal with differences in implementation of MathML when using it, and making the spec harder to improve.
Thanks - yes, I know; but good to see the original source of the discussion vs reading from
blogs etc.

Math is used so widely in the sciences, I’m very disappointed that Google didn’t put some resources to get MathML working in Chrome. It has really hampered online math publishing :( MathJax is great, but it’s slow and not a native to the browser.
wow, so this guy worked as senior developer for infosec vendor NeoBIT (neobit.ru/partners openly cites FSB as their #1 client) and then gets a QA tester job at MSFT, no wonder DHS tracked him since he applied for visa.

see, these people are not that smart, actually
Ryanair let you advertise on the exterior of their aircraft from €3000/month. Apparently the "cheapest outdoor medium in the world".

The US dollar is backed by a promise by the US government to (a) keep the value fairly stable, relative to a common basket of consumer goods; and (b) accept them for payment of US taxes.

The long and stable history of the US government gives weight to these promises.
Well, maybe a line-by-line solution is good enough, I mean, it would only target a subset but the code will be readable. I still think though that any compiler which is intended for real apps should do the classic tokenize-parse-compile steps.
Same, we use Stash locally due to latency, ($10/yr for our tiny team), then mirror to Bitbucket each commit automatically.
Hmmm, just searched GitHub for aws_cloudformation_stack and found 375 public repositories. I'm sure those references are orders of magnitude more in the private repos. In other words, you still need CloudFormation with Terraform on AWS... so, why use the patchwork then?
Auto is not a type, it means local variable. I think its still a thing, just its the default so nobody uses it.
> If you're assuming the input files are well-formed

Seems like a big if. Lots of failure cases like file not found or bad permissions are handled with Java checked exception. The minimum Java app would have to cover those cases in some way.

Does CL just silently ignore these types of issues when you "code as you would professionally"? Seems like a lot of code is missing but maybe I'm just used to the verbosity.
Glad that someone can still read between the lines.
I want to add that the fast evolution of computers caused by the publication of the von Neumann report and the lack of "IP protection" is paralleled by the fast evolution of semiconductor devices after the discovery of the transistor, which was also caused by the lack of "IP protection" in the modern sense.

Even if the transistors have been patented, the patents have been licensed to anyone for negligible fees or even for free (e.g. for hearing aids).

If the essential transistor patents had been used like worthless patents are used today in preventing competition, the history of the computer and electronics industries would have been very different, with progress delayed by decades.

So both the publication of the von Neumann report and the generous handling of the transistor patents have been very influential in shaping the word of today, while many inventions where the inventors clinged to the patents have been either doomed or they began to be used only after the patents have expired, more than 20 years later.
Writing a letter to your representative arguing for lower taxes: cool. Making large contributions to their campaign fund, paying them tens of thousands of dollars for a 30 minute speech at your conference etc: not cool.
The best way to eliminate the competition is to regulate the industry & increase taxes.
In terms of Rust guarantees with C* code; the Rust parts of the code will be fine. Which means if you have an issue, you can easily isolate it to the C* code (probably doesn't help a lot). You can probably isolate things if you use IPC (I believe there is a few crates for that), but it wouldn't prevent the result from being wrong, only from unsafe behaviour stomping the address space. You could likely avoid copy if you relied on SHM for larger data patterns.

On the other hand, integrating Rust and C* isn't terribly hard, there is automated tools that generate bindings for C/Rust so you don't really have to think about it much other than unpacking the unsafe data from C*.
It is notable that the attacker only makes a few guesses at usernames, and

successfully authenticates once the correct username has been found. While
we don't have any specific evidence for this, a possible explanation is
that the user database of master.php.net has been leaked, although it is
unclear why the attacker would need to guess usernames in that case.

from the logs, the hacker seems to be guessing the password too. this is not consistent with a database leak. it is consistent with a team work where a separate reconnaissance job has been done before hand and the hacker had access to profiles of the developers with separate lists of known usernames and passwords.
"auto" probably is the storage class, it tells what kind of variable this is. Automatic as opposed to "register" which would force the variable to be a register, or "static" or "extern".

The type is not given at all, I think by default it would be "int".
If you look at age distribution, the numbers are actually much higher for adults, but Israel has a very large proportion of children under 18. For adults over 40 the number is around 85%, for adults under 40 it's around 75%.

Degreaser is a common part of a car mechanics life. Especially so 30+ years ago where it was more common to clean and replace parts than now when it's more usual to just replace any removed part.

Fair, but using GNU's work as an example almost feels like cheating in a weird way ;).

GNU is not building a hard-core minimalist website, they do include CSS on their page -- in fact they include more of it than this website does. So the problem isn't that GNU is too minimal or that they've sworn off of CSS, the problem is that modern GNU increasingly doesn't seem to know how to design anything at all when it comes to UX, and that there's probably somebody somewhere on their chain of authority for this page seriously arguing that line-wrapping is bad design or some other nonsense.

But I don't know. To the extent that GNU's design aesthetics actually represent a web design trend, then I do concede that it's a bad trend, and everybody who's following it should add `body { max-width: 40em; margin: auto; }` to the top of their CSS files.
Admitting that black or autistic people exist is political now. Gotcha.

SkipLagged doesn't make any revenue, it was just a project to help consumers.
When protesters block the freeway he's on, he no longer has the ability to not pay attention to them. They have, in fact, taken that away from him.

I even think that's precisely why the protesters do it.
What are the boundaries of those rights?

Is it OK for your neighborhood to protest by sitting in your house? What about in supermarket checkout aisles? or on the interstate?

These are just random examples, but in all these cases, they are breaking laws.

I think it was smart of him to discuss general discretion rather than civil liberties.
Interestingly, "fighting for your rights" seems to be one of those things that works only when a small minority is doing the fighting. For instance, the American revolution was instigated and conducted by a few discontented landholders, without seeking permission or widespread acceptance from the broader population. If the means for widespread democratic input had existed in the years leading up to 1776, would Washington have been able to mobilize successfully? Or would the mainstream media have been co-opted by the British to proclaim him a "radical dissident" or a "terrorist," hopelessly marginalizing the revolutionaries?

That's the problem that any would-be Chinese or Russian revolutionary faces. Earlier revolutions could be conducted with the involvement of only 10-15% of the population, but these days, you can't do much to change things even with 80% of the population behind you.
Osmocom is working on Open Source implementations of both basebands and cell towers, along with various other cell network components: see http://osmocom.org/ for the project and http://bb.osmocom.org/ for the baseband in particular.
Don't get me wrong. I've got no answers. But I think it's a bit naïve to believe that no one, criminal or otherwise, would fill the power void should an organized and powerful police force cease to exist. In countries with corrupt or minimal police force, we see rampant corruption and gangs/terrorist groups in control. It's not like there aren't examples to draw from here.
I accidentally down voted you on my iPad because the little buttons are too close, but I agree entirely with what you said and Lisa sounds extremely naive. Fame is a function of much more than just doing stuff. The media, for example, play an important and often highly selective role. Some have become famous by sleeping with the right producers, some have cured polio. Some have very obscure fame, Knuth, for example, is known pretty much to, and only to, every CS major. Youthful enthusiasm often neglects how critical luck is in life. Even if you achieve something highly beneficial to mankind doesn't guarantee fame, think of all the obscure inventors whose names we don't remember. It is also easy to loose a sense of perspective, while I'm sure facebook is fun for a lot of people but I think 'Zuck' is more famous for being the subject of a movie than for running an ad business.
They licensed tech from Imagination Technologies for their low-end GMA500 chip.
Well I'm glad the last 100 years of business history can be summed up with a single strawman. It's such a relief that there was no nuance or complexity in history, now I won't have to do any of that nasty "thinking".

Sarcasm aside, you present an entirely simplistic view of history perfectly tailored to the point you're trying to make. The only people who are going to believe anything you're saying are the people who already agree with you, because people tend to be less than critical when it comes to their pet theories.

As a counter-point, here are some of those grey-suited company-men from the post-Teddy Roosevelt era:

Henry Ford

Alfred Sloan

Thomas Watson

Walt Disney

Will Kellogg

Warren Buffett

William Boeing

Gordon Moore

Henry Kaiser

There are more. So what exactly is your point? There were clearly self-made men after Roosevelt. Are you arguing that there were more self-made men before Roosevelt? I'd like to see some evidence to that. Or maybe you're arguing that the general "sentiment" was against self-made men. Again, I'd like to see evidence of that, and good luck finding it. First you'll have to define just what the national "sentiment" is, then find scientific studies of people both before and after Roosevelt that tried to discern it.

If you design your website simply, you don't need to know that the user is using a screen-reader, nor what other strange situation that you'd never even imagined or accounted for may be happening. They'll be able to use it either way, because you made it universally accessible, rather than covering certain classes or cases individually.
We saw the same thing during the Kavanaugh protests. The protestors were able to gain access to several locations in Federal buildings that they weren't supposed to be in. Nothing was changed to improve security, rather stupidly. During both Kavanaugh and the BLM / Antifa protests members of Congress were repeatedly threatened with death and or general physical violence (eg Rand Paul, a pacifist, being surrounded by a hyper violent mob and having to be shielded by half a dozen police officers as the mob tried to attack him and his family), little appears to have been modified to adjust for the atmosphere of increasing partisan violence that is enfulging the US. It's obvious what that's going to inevitably result in unless some appropriate security steps are taken. The partisan violence will get dramatically worse this decade as the sides split further apart. Some people foolishly think Biden is the end of it; Trump was only a symptom of what's happening, which is the beginning of a cultural civil war (the two major political sides in the US have absolutely nothing in common now), and increasingly intense acts of violence will go along with that.
There are a lot of juvenile named open source projects that will definitely get in trouble or already have. GIMP and LAME are examples.
Transforming your data applications into web applications can easily become a pain in the neck. If your focus is majorly data science, machine learning, and deep learning then you might not want to spend time learning web frameworks so as to build and deploy data applications. Enter Streamlit.
Didn't WhatsApp used to be monetized by default? Something like $1/year?
I’d be surprised if this isn’t just whitewashing some previously shared data.

Also, a preparation for antitrust action - once the data is shared and integrated, even if they are forced to separate WhatsApp, they have all the metadata (which takes 3-5 years to become stale) and now they will have it “legally” (sadly, this extortion is indeed legal. It shouldn’t be)

Felony murder would imply that the death of the women was murder, right? A guess both tresspassing or rioting is more proper charges. IANAL.
It’s not research, but I would point them at NIST 800-63. These are well thought out standards that the entire US government follows. It would be tough to find a more comprehensive or authoritative source that says otherwise.

Exactly right. It's polarizing. Very polarizing, if this comment thread is any indication. And the pole of people who absolutely love it will buy it. That group of people does not need to be large for this to be successful.

This is a great example of the marketing strategy that advocates focusing on a small group of very passionate customers. If you can create a set of fanatical early adopters for a brand-new product, you're on your way to success. Very few products achieve immediate mainstream success and assuming that Tesla won't likely have the production capacity to meet mainstream demand anyway, this is a very smart play.
I think GP means to say that the target was our privileged ignorance.
Water to rice ratio = 1 rice to 1.5 water.
Or you do the math and realize that with a modern, safe automobile, your chance of dying in an accident with a pickup is so small that upgrading your own vehicle to a pickup is a rounding error.

To be clear, I agree that humans being humans, we do love to get into escalating arms races.
These features do not scale so one should take care to use these language features only when necessary. Also the OP is not Gospel of Go, merely an expressed opinion.

> If one person does a job in half the time of another, maybe it can be attributed to their choice of programming languages. If one does it in 1% of the time of another, it’s probably a matter of talent.

This has been discussed many times (recently, somebody attributed a significant difference in productivity among programmers to... the ability to touch type).

Anyway, why different tools could in principle not be able to generate wildly different productivity outcomes?

"If you only have a hammer" can be reversed: if you don't have a hammer, then planting nails becomes incredibly difficult and takes a great amount of time (and ingenuity). A (not too practical-oriented) friend of mine once called me because he had spent an hour and a half trying to screw together a simple Ikea bookshelf (where the documentation said it could be done in less than 10 minutes). Turned out he was trying to screw the big bolts with pliers, and that's really hard.
I created the lists in the OP and to determine whether an average salary value is legit I looked at the individual entries. For those I declared invalid there was something like four entries making $55000 and one entry making $550000, the latter one being an obvious typo in the database.
There are definitely advantages for our understanding. But, when writing highly parallelized code I always thought the linear style was somehow odd. It would be cool to see other ideas that would map more directly with that type of thinking.
