This is a pretty cavalier way to look at engineering standards. The majority of regulations and standards in consumer/public facing engineering works are written in blood. Saying that we "tried a bunch of different ones and found one that worked best" does a disservice to the people that died for us to learn our lessons. Retreading the cowboy attitude that led to these regulations is not something that should be encouraged.
> The only reason to believe they would change this is that the Apple Silicon architecture changes would have Apple be interested in the Mac being some sort of equivalent to an iPod Touch.

I don't see any great difference/reasons why the iPad pro is locked, and a MacBook isn't.

I hope Apple "computers" will remain unlocked, but I'm not sure I see a real business case for Apple to keep them open.
I used to be super into my cooking knives, but after a decade of using everything from rubber handled target chef knives to 300+$ japanese art-work knives, I've learned that it's better to buy a 40 dollar chef knife every 3 years than a 200$ one every... 3 years.
Here's a nice talk that goes into this dichotomy a bit.

I grew up in the 80s going to the Cary Mall. It was awesome. I used to converge at the arcade where my dad would occasionally give me $.50 to play 2 games......Mostly I would watch. Anyway, it's great to see my hometown have Epic and SAS as headquarters as this usually leads to good paying middle class and above jobs ..........

I'm actually building a name generator that is as intelligent and creative as that for my senior year thesis (and also for https://www.oneword.domains/)

I already have an MVP that I'm testing out locally but I'd appreciate any ideas on how to make it as smart as possible!
In Seattle, underground tunnels were shared by trains and buses until March 2019[1], here's an video showing it in action, a bit older, (possibly before there were any trains?): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=etT_wVuKy_I

Why not use buses in those tunnels as well? Maybe there is no traffic jams above ground?

There are a great many languages that are often called “dead” that see rather active use in very specific domains that are called dead for not being general purpose.

By the standards of “dead” frequently employed to point out that, say, Hasell is dead, R, Wolfram Language, and Fortran would be considered “dead” as well.
Shame they're London-based. That's one part of the country I'd never, ever live again, if I had the choice. Overpriced, crime-ridden, crowded, over-hyped and self-important shit-hole.
MySpace's exit was $580MM. They had an estimated revenue of $300-$400MM in 2009. They might not be Facebook, and may never have a very high valuation, but the exit was very profitable for those involved.

Twitter can just as easily be great for it's stakeholders and fizzle out as a service.
I prefer it. Here's why. When Googling for specific details of something, I inevitably end up with 1001 automatically generated pages from the wrong data which are plastered with ads and other crap. With YouTube, I might have to watch a video, but the interface is consistent and I know that in most cases someone's had to put effort into actually showing me the right answer. If the textual Web were all put together by humans with answers, it'd be better, but it isn't :-(

Of course, if the answer to something is on Wikipedia, it's a win. But Wikipedia isn't designed to be an encyclopedia of all human knowledge (sadly).
Let us not forget the superiors to those scientists who pressure publication because a lot of times that is the only way they can be sure to get further funding / grants.

At least that is what I take away from a lot of it.
I think this is because you're interpreting it as "Javascript is bad" instead of "Javascript is bad for this purpose." I think there are plenty of places where the latter is a totally logical statement that needs no real further explanation.
1) This (poorly written) comment concerns spam. I didn't say that the comment itself was spam.

(Edit: I see now the tag "Detected as spam." I rarely use Disqus and didn't catch it the first few times I looked at it.)

2) Spam detection algorithms are hard. There are false negatives. https://disqus.com/home/channel/discussdisqus/discussion/cha... suggests that Disqus has many problems, but without knowing the baseline rate, it's hard to judge if it's really bad. (If it stops 1 billion spam comments per day, and falsely categorizes 10 real ones, but all 10 complain, then it will appear that there is a high failure rate.)

3) Huh?! I don't have a startup. I sell software under a free license.

4) You must have missed the part which says "against the spirit of the constitution of the USA". Free speech and freedom to assemble are equally part of the first amendment. If you want to protect user rights, you have to protect all of them, and realize they are sometimes in tension with each other.

Otherwise, chance your account name to "FreeSpeechRights".
I have a love/hate relationship with Glass's music. When he's on point, his music can be absolutely amazing: structured, melodic, mood generating.

When he's not, his music sounds like the output of a really simple music generation algorithm and boring. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNiOqa1nWgI)

However, I'll always be in debt to Glass for getting me into modern music and musical Minimalism, which led me to Steve Reich. Who strangely also become more melodic as his musical ideas progressed. For me my favorite piece is Music for 18 Musicians, good recordings of which send you to the most sublime and transformative musical place for an hour -- that I've ever heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLckHHc25ww

His music is also difficult, some pieces can take up to a year for a group to prepare, but for reasons that are entirely different than what most musicians think of as "difficult".

Another favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edKE10Yz_zs

Reich is also one of those composers who you can see a clear musical progression in his career: from almost avante garde experiments with recordings and typical minimalist focuses on single musical ideas (usually phasing), in his later career turned to fantastic rhythms and harmonies and the idea of slowly evolving musical themes. The music sounds almost the same as you listen to it, but before you know it you are somewhere entirely different from where you started. I find myself often skipping back a minute or so mid song to relive the journey and figure out what happened.
You can use nodejitsu.com or modulus.io which specialise in node apps.

Alternatively you can use AWS with Elastic Beanstalk to quickly bring up a node app.
I think it more likely the X.Org Foundation would just dissolve. The licensing ensures that moving the project is a simple matter of the individual developers choosing to operate under a different banner. No link needs to be established between the foundation and SPI/Apache/whatever.

The only question is where the X trademarks might be. If they're still with the Open Group, no problem. If they got transferred, it's a little more complicated.
The previously confiscated funds were directly related to the Silk Road busts. DHS officials inferred as much in their testimony on Bitcoin before congress.

http://thegenesisblock.com/mt-gox-seizures-linked-silk-road-...

The article implies this wasn't just issued today, it is just being reported now but it says it was actually issued "this month". You know what else happened in that time frame? Charlie Shrem was arrested for Silk Road related Bitcoin charges.

I mean It would be great if they were investigating the insolvency but I'd say there is a good chance it isn't related to that.
> (clojurescript? you literally never mention in this post what language that is)?

For clarity, core.async is a library that can be used in both Clojure and Clojurescript. There are internal implementation and performance differences, but the behavior of the library is the same for both.
That's basically what a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclonal_antibody is - and those are by far the most expensive drugs there are, with costs in the $100,000/person range.

Currently building a web drawing program that can create custom data visualizations. Think “no code D3”.

It has required some pretty cool tech. I’ve essentially built a reactive expression evaluator in typescript. This allows me to do things like “rectangle.height = foo + bar”. It’ll then setup “foo” and “bar” as dependencies of “rectangle.height”, watch them for changes, re-evaluate the expression, and update the rectangles height.
I really like that you have a popular sources list, something I've wanted for a long time in other feed viewers
I've seen a few of these domain name generators / suggestion tools, and always wonder how they verify that the domain names are available? I've yet to find an API that lets me query them, and merely checking if there's a server registered for the domain name isn't sufficient, as it isn't required to have one.

I guess what I'm really asking is, how do you verify that they aren't taken already?
Likewise with your company blog. Put a prominent, descriptive link to the main site at the top. It's too common that I have to go to the address bar and remove "blog." to get to the main page. Most people won't do this.
200/hr is standard for a few business oriented developer technologies. The technologies are typically boring and unpleasant to work with and you have to actually talk to business users (something devs usually hate). It may not be the technology so much as the ability to understand what business people mean when they are talking. If you like Python (which I do too) you may want to try doing some Django IT projects on contract to get some references and build a business from there. Boring, but a pretty common business model.

Unfortunately, the story focuses only on the girl. I would have liked to read about the actual experiences of doing business in China. He just glosses over the fact that their programmer was fired. Also, is his co-founder Chinese? I think that would have been relevant to mention.

I know it’s cliche to blame the internet, but ... the internet is a big factor. Previously, there were only a handful of big media outlets that everyone read/watched, they kept decently to journalistic integrity principles, and made some effort to be balanced and not overly biased. No OANN or Newsmax there. But the internet allowed anyone to be a “journalist”, and as fringe media started to gain in popularity, mainstream media started getting more polarized too, to keep market share.

Going back further, before the existence of mass media, everything was more in-person/local. When you have a small community of people you talk to in-person, you’re going to be way more reasonable than on some global, anonymous, online community. Social media is a great example - it’s a breeding ground for arguments, conspiracy theories and extremism. People who would be perfectly civil to each other in person can be absolute assholes to each other online. How many email/Slack disagreements have you been in at work that instantly resolve the moment you move to in-person or video chat?

Some will say this polarization always existed, but I do feel it has gotten significantly worse. I don’t remember the 90s feeling this polarized, with people so unable to agree upon basic facts about current events. And I’m guessing the 90s were more polarized than the 50s.

One good thing - hostilities BETWEEN nations seem to be decreasing. I don’t think we’re on the cusp of World War 3 or any such thing, but hostilities WITHIN nations seem to be on the rise, at least from my “gut feel” view of my life so far.

On that note, life has been good for a long time in the west. War is an absolute atrocity, but it does put petty disputes into perspective, and build some sense of national unity. Since World War 2, life has been pretty cushy and safe in western democracies, so maybe we’re starting to make enemies of each other to fill the void?
I have never heard of any true historical proof of the existence of Jesus whatsoever. No eyewitness accounts, no Roman accounts, no Jewish accounts, etc.

> What if, by way of uncritically publishing everything that everybody says, Twitter is accessory to treason?

I'm not sure that a communications network passing on their users' communications would amount to treason.

But let's run with that for instance, and assume it did, in law.

> Do they have a right to demur?

Clearly if a course of action is against the law, they have a legal obligation not to do it. True by definition.

As to whether they have a moral obligation, that's another question entirely, and a rather complex one, as one would have to define what is moral. I would say that a company that wishes to continue operating in a country is going to have to obey the laws of that country.

> Or must they participate in every crime that their users engage in?

Well, that all depends on whether transmitting other people's messages constitutes a crime. Realistically, no company is going to do things that would get it shut down (and if they did, they wouldn't do so for long).
I'd still like to see the actual process behind that one county in Michigan that actually got looked. I can't find any information on the alleged "emergency patch" of GA voting systems either. Or an explanation of why several State's judiciaries chimed in on changing election timeframes when constitutionally, that is the perview of the Legislature.

I'm still on the lack of evidence fence but I'm seriously leaning toward the side of "Thou dost protest too much" when the response isn't the most gruelingly painful enumeration of every detail of the process to the rest of the country.

You can throw all your numerical arguments about why it shouldn't matter at me that you want. I'm not buying it.

This is the simplest god blessed process to automate. It's literally a counter. There should not be anywhere near as much opportunity for controversy or hell, even something to hide!

The tech behind it should be absolutely boring, and yet, no reckoning. No public release of auditable source code, or machine images.

I don't give a damn who won. I give a damn that someone questioned it, and heaven and hell were not moved in an attempt to answer the question.

Not trying to Gish Gallop mind, I just think the integrity of the system is important enough to warrant keeping the process transparent and dirt simple enough, your State should be able to account for it to the rest of the nation. Voting is not a joke, and I don't even like entertaining the possibility that some irregularities could even exist to explain.
What's the difference between raising a mis-priced private round vs a mis-priced IPO. Is the main difference that ibankers get nothing in the former case?
IANAL, but I think there’s a pretty substantial difference between “prevent distribution” and “refuse to publish”. There are some cases in 1A caselaw where mandatory publishing is a thing, but they’re extraordinarily limited and generally public health/safety oriented and proscribed by the state.

I’d be shocked if even this court went so far as to mandate a private company devote its resources to providing content that violates its own rules.
We need to kill the idea that user growth is a replacement for a honest and legit business model.

This is not just a founders problem - investors are equally compliant since they keep on throwing their money as long as they see that sweet exponential curve.

Once they get tired of seeing their money being lit on fire; they give the founders one option; monetize what you have or shut down.

Since users are now used to your service being free, the only thing you can do is to look at what you have; User data.

At first, you just sell this info to your “trusted” partners because you want to be able to sleep at night, but as the revenue keeps on growing, your investors realize you have a money printing machine at your hands.

At this point you you’ve lost your compass and forgot why you even founded the thing, being stuck at a big table discussing with investors and lawyers how to find loopholes in the new iteration of the GDPR laws, ending the meeting with deciding to funnel a big chunk of cash to lobby the law out of existence.

At this point, everybody looses except from the stock owners. Or maybe you find it hard to sleep at night, because even thought you now have infinite amounts of cash, you lost a part of yourself that day when you threw your entire user base under the bus.
Having faith can be applied generally. To me, this is the philosophy of Christ that taught me the most. Do you have faith in humanity? Do you have hope that people will choose goodness over wickedness? I do. History has taught me that humans move forward. I have faith in humanity that progress will continue. I believe that righteousness and justice can be the fuel to drive us forward. If I didn't have any faith what would I have? If everyone was a cynic, where would we be? Certainly much worse off than we see ourselves today.
I think people conflate management with being better at your job, but developers have the Maker mania. Managers don't get to make things, so why would we want to do that?
Perhaps the point of scanning the people flying is to justify spending money on the machines? The machines are being pushed in part by people who used to run the TSA, after all.
Thank you Mixpanel. Off to make a billion.
Nah course not, you just want someone else to get in one.
He is responsible for YC. Who else would you mention by name when arguing this point?
"git archive" is the closest to what you're looking for I think (although, that only creates a zip or tar archive, so you need to add an extra step -- by default it writes to stdout though so it's not too hard)
The TSA is not customs.
This is correct. If you rely on a lot of security then maybe you should be considering a different deployment method, or write a module that does exactly what you want to do. It is modular so there is the probability you could accomplish what you want.

Also, the project just released a few days ago, mainly to say it's there, if anyone wants to contribute or provide feedback that would be very much appreciated. It is still in a _very_ early stage, hence the version 0.0.x so it could really go in a lot of directions, mainly based on input from the community and guys like you. There is a lot of room for improvement.

That said, any piece of information, advice and feedback is most certainly welcome!
It's called "shebang" and a discussion was done on SO few weeks back.

Basically the purpose of the shebang in this case is to tell Google how to index pages.
I feel sad somehow. Huawei was the only company which was going toe-to-toe against Google and Apple in the AI space. I saw it in their phones, which were better than many others, and had even better computational photography than Pixels of the same generation, in my opinion.

Combined with their chip design expertise - they were making chips that were as good or better than the Snapdragons, its clear why the US needed them kneecapped.

We as consumers lose when competition is stifled.
Considering this part of his statement I think his message might have even more subtle than that:

but if health care providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

I suspect at the time of the statement, health care works where struggle to get PPE, which would not have been helped by the run on masks by the general public.

In that context I see this a plea for the public to understand a mask in the hand of a medical worker is much more valuable than one in the hand of a member of the public. So lets try and help the medical staff before we try and help ourselves.
Ah, right on! Thanks.
It's not really true because Australia can't "enforce" 2+2=5, they can only punish Australians who say otherwise, which isn't meaningful enforcement.

Suppose that Australia enacts a law that says: passwords must only be accessible to the government but no one else. How can Australia reliably enforce that? Regardless of what the government decrees, other people can exploit the same backdoors that the government uses to access passwords. At most, they can punish people who do that against their wishes, but only after the password has already been accessed and only if they find out. Governments aren't omniscient or omnipotent, what they can enforce is limited by natural laws. We have yet to find a way to overcome natural laws.
Six independent scholarly sources are cited within the first several paragraphs, whom the author claims arrived at similar conclusions.

Your table doesn't include information prior to the current period of supposed political instability, so it does not contain enough information to identify a trend.
You are right about the collision course. The two will slowly merge into a bigger galaxy like in this picture: http://cas.sdss.org/dr6/en/proj/basic/galaxies/images/752-6-...
Typically I would agree with you, but I've worked on a lot of old codebases with extensive testing for deep scary private parts. A good example is some public method which does something seemingly innocent and useful, but in its guts calls a bunch of black magic to deal with different operating systems and configuration options.
I've had to deal with a technical quiz 2 times in the last ~9 years, one of which was when I was applying as an intern.

I'm an SAP guy and the enterprise space pretty much hires exclusively off prior experience and not on technical merit (for better or worse).

As an aside, the 2nd quiz was while applying as an expert in a (at the time) very niche UI technology. The nature of the questions were such that immediately after the call I got in touch with the recruiter and hiring manager and told them I felt insulted by the triviality of the questions and was no longer interested in the position. Consider that my small contribution to ending this practice of asking technical gotcha's that have little bearing on one's competence.
