It's also the people he talks to.

From the Acknowledgements of his latest book :

"Jabe Blumenthal and Karen Fries are the two former Microsoft colleagues who organized my first learning session on climate change in 2006. In that session, they introduced me to two climate scientists, Ken Caldeira—then at the Carnegie Institution for Science—and David Keith of the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Since then, I’ve had countless conversations with Ken and David that have shaped my thinking.

Ken and a team of his postdoctoral fellows—Candise Henry, Rebecca Peer, and Tyler Ruggles—pored over the manuscript line by line to check for factual mistakes. I’m thankful for their meticulous work. Any remaining errors are my responsibility.

The late David MacKay of Cambridge University inspired me with his wit and insights. I recommend his phenomenal book Sustainable Energy—Without the Hot Air to anyone who wants to dig deeper into the subject of energy and climate change.

This feels like that Palpatine scene from Star Wars:

My lord, is that, legal?

I will make it legal.
False dilemma. I didn’t say that the alternative should be coal.
When MS announced the Xbox One, I was actually on their camp. I bought into the whole idea of digital distribution as the future of gaming.

However, not once have MS done anything to actually improve the US internet speed or infrastructure since. Its like MS sold me on the vision of a future, but came back to tell me that they don't actually have a plan to make the vision possible.
Also looks like it uses nested functions.
> I'd say that it's also very much a matter of whether you have a shower near your place of work.

Yeah I'd agree with that.
> Do all star/ninja/rock-star software developers have rotten attitudes?

Yes. That's pretty much a definition of "star/ninja/rock-star" developers - cocky know-it-alls who openly consider themselves smarter than the rest. Doesn't mean they are actually skilled or senior though.
I think google protected your data from employees. Can't github do the same ?
Yeah, it should be "don't let others shape your personality and your life - do it yourself"...
> "I don't think there are many companies who have the depth of info security knowledge that Github can draw upon."

I recall at least two vulnerabilities that GitHub was exposed to. The mass-assignment one from Rails (which they didn't fix until after they were the poster-child for it), and the cross-site one, which prompted them to use github.io.

I suspect their security teams are better now but you're still taking it on faith. By using 3rd-party services, you are increasing your exposure, not diminishing it. Someone who wants to attack you specifically will do so regardless.
This is far more interesting than the OP. Thanks for sharing.
Just because they have a policy against these thing doesn't mean they don't happen:

http://www.wired.com/2010/09/google-spy/

>Google acknowledged Wednesday that two employees have been terminated after being caught in separate incidents allegedly spying on user e-mails and chats.

>David Barksdale, 27, was fired in July after he reportedly accessed the communications of at least four minors with Google accounts, spying on Google Voice call logs, chat transcripts and contact lists

>In the case of one 15-year-old boy Barksdale met through a technology group in Seattle, Washington, he allegedly tapped into the boy’s Google Voice call logs after the boy refused to tell him the name of his new girlfriend. Barksdale then reportedly taunted the boy with threats to call the girl.

>Barksdale also allegedly accessed contact lists and chat transcripts of account holders and, after one teen blocked him from his Gtalk buddy list, reversed the block. A source told Gawker that Barksdale’s intent didn’t appear to be to prey on minors for sexual purposes, but simply to goad them and impress them with his level of access and power.
It makes sense that Google protects your data from most employees, but there's always a core of employees that have everything accessible. It's probably a small operational core in Google (still probably way bigger than the entire headcount of Github).
Definitely feel like it was bots saying “We’re going after silver now!”
I didn't say that either jailing system was good. I said that they had different properties.

But, now that you've brought it up, do you think that they're equally bad? (Note - "both bad" doesn't imply "equal".)
Yep, that's what I meant, thanks. Powers-of-two is just for getting the correct bits.
Any one care to elaborate on what this quote means exactly? What is meant by "break things"? Or by "move fast"?
I think you are part right. It was mentioned in a review that this is the first of many episodes in the series. I suspect that if this is true; the next ones will be higher priced.
Exactly. What you describe sounds like the one PHP application I wrote, before I had done much real programming.

By "the right way" I mean idiomatic, maintainable, and taking advantage of its strengths.
I never said political affiliation was protected. I was just pointing out that the blanket statement "they can kick out anyone they want" is not correct.
When even downvotes are considered censorship what form of self policing society can exist?

It’s a common misunderstanding that the only purpose of a company is to make shareholders happy.
Rhetorically, you are suggesting that Trump is not a cult leader threatening the very core of our democracy.

If that's the position you support, then you have quite a lot of work ahead of you.
I think the answer is simply mobile phones obviated those sorts of intercom systems. Either I can yell to the person, or I can just call/facetime them.

However Apple recently introduced an Intercom / Announcement system to their homepods, so we'll try that at some point. I feel like it won't be more than a novelty unless someone knows that I'm in e.g. the garage.
Did you conveniently ignore that some of the folks who broke into the capitol were armed with spears, clubs and firearms, carrying ziptie handcuffs? If the capitol police were not able to secure the escape of the senators and representatives, what do you imagine might have happened when the mob descended upon them?
Everything is political in some sense.

But there is a difference between demanding social change and demanding to take down a politician or to overturn an election.
I can see it only going to get worse from here, if social media companies powers go unchecked.
All CI yaml configs look basically the same, so I believe this is missing the intended point.

But, TIL. Thanks
I haven't read the paper, but knowing a little about cosmic expansion, even if we "don't wait" and manage to launch 2 different teams to 2 different galaxies, at some point those galaxies will become unobservable from each other.
Have you tried posting to Indie Hackers? https://www.indiehackers.com

IH is a community of people working on their own products, often solo devs, and it may be a good place to introduce yourself and your project (possible customers could read IH), but also ask for some more advice.
It doesn't really propose an alternative to the PSL for 'same site' behavior, instead just pushes for 'same origin' (aka exact match) behavior.

I would agree that e.g. Apple would be better to support both same-site and same-origin, and say, clobber PCM if it receives a request for one after it has already received a request for the other.
yea, it is. but it's a sane thing to do. recommending poetry for a beginner is a bad idea. (nothing against that package).

python is a mature, old, software system. three times older than go or rust. way older than zig. these modern languages have learned from the field as a whole and implemented tools that people are taking for granted nowadays.

as with any mature software system, people & companies have established their preferred ways of doing things. it's going to be hard to have the language council dictate ways of doing things.

i would recommend going simple and using the standard set of modules until poetry or whatever gets into it.
depends on why it is slow, is it CPU bound or waiting for I/O?
I wish there was a tiny 4G LTE phone with the same form as mid-2000s nokia: a screen just big enough to read texts on and most of the space occupied by physical buttons for dialing. Preferably with a firmware that is never expected to be updated.
Over a decade spent in writing circles, working in publishing for 5 years, countless evenings spent at various critique groups, landing a top agent with good contacts, and befriending some people who are far more talented than me. All kind of coalesced into a melding of friend groups and our little group of creative misfits forming.

I should probably clarify that we have a handful of extreme success stories, and the rest of us are low or mid tier writers. Groups like us aren't rare (although our size is a bit larger than usual) since it's really hard to find quality critique partners. Once you find them, you hold on tight, and writers often stay in the same groups for years (even decades).
TBB is a great C++ library, but it seems like the existence of great C++ libraries should a point in favour of C++, not a point against it.
I don't know, I mean sure, it might be self-serving for me to want to discourage other people from going to Yosemite, but realistically isn't the point of the national parks to preserve them for people to enjoy? I don't think it's a great mission to say "we only want die-hard fans of the outdoors to be willing to go through the reservation process." Part of the point is outreach to people who aren't normally connected to or interested in the outdoors.

> But in practice what we have is not really working for anyone (at Yosemite and the other mega parks)

I'm not sure that's true. Tons and tons of people go there. It's not like it's so crowded that no one goes there any more (like the classic joke).
Time for a regular reminder that Twitter's namespace is the sole property of Twitter, Inc.
Looks interesting and would love to read/review it. But at $88 a piece for 3 volumes ... hmm!
You seem to be misunderstanding the value proposition. Suppose that I have some of my personal medical data, and I'd like to use it to try and detect early symptoms of HIV. But because there's a stigma against HIV and I don't trust medical providers to handle my data correctly, I refuse to hand over my data to a third party service unencrypted. Without homomorphic encryption, I'd be out of luck; I couldn't use a third-party service to analyze my data and return a prediction.

With homomorphic encryption:
- I encrypt my data locally
- Send the encrypted bits over to the third-party
- The third-party uses their ML algorithm to compute a prediction
- They send back an encrypted prediction
- I decrypt the prediction locally and get my results.

At no point in this process can anyone, aside from me, see either the input data or the output.
Because Twitter potentially bears liability by hosting them into the future, and is only willing to bear that liability if you agree to their terms.
Had you seen the address bar, you would've realized you weren't at the domain's root path, and maybe then it would've clicked that this was a satirized version of the homepage.
I once testifed in a court case. The court reporter asked me to speak more slowly. She said she had a hard time recording more than 300 words per minute. I learned I am a fast talker and slow typer.
Could you expand on this a bit? I’m not sure exactly what you are saying here, and on its face it doesn’t seem correct.
I built a product of similar complexity by myself in a few months. It's built for a small but growing niche. After 2 months of having launched I already have about 70 paid accounts and $1.5K MRR with minimal marketing.

It boggles my mind to think people can burn $40K a month before having an understanding of whether what they built has product market fit.

I literally spent maybe a total of $5000 building and launching my product (+ my time, arguably that's a hidden cost but if you're a software engineer founder, that's also a major asset for you) and with 70 accounts we're getting 2-3 feedback and suggestion emails a day and iterating to please our customers and find PMF before I consider taking any investor money or hiring anyone.

Also their actual marketing page sucks. They don't have a particular differentiator from similar products, I don't really understand what their app does... Blargh. :/

Deleted permanently. It isn't interesting anymore, unless you enjoy only seeing posts that involve mundane bs mixed with advertising. Sad how it went from being an exclusive university friends only joke to a "serious enough to apply for employment with" joke of a site that everybody's grandmother uses regularly.
I double-dog dare you to go to a Jewish wedding and ask about circumcision. (Or to a tech conference and ask where the women are and why everyone is single.) With good editing, it will be exactly as funny as Cohen's best.

Everyone has a door and can be convinced to go through it. And at any given time, some people are safe targets.
There’s probably a few things this truck has that normal cars don’t have.

The air compressor comment was an illustrative tougue-in-cheek comparison, not a serious suggestion.

Imagine the amount of power needed to run an air compressor with a displacement in the 5-6 liter range. That’s exactly the amount of power we’re talking about. Because that’s literally what an engine-braking truck is doing, it’s driving its engine as an air compressor.

Your “tens of thousands of watts” estimate is probably just about right. And that’s not anywhere outside the realm of doable. That’s probably well within the abilities of regenerative system in the drivetrain this vehicle will have, but even if we assume it isn’t, a 10kw resistive load is a $100-$200 part, off the shelf.
Factor in that all of these hosts are used primarily for Wordpress hosting(Bluehost is the recommended partner). So, the plausible attack vectors for exploiting these vulnerabilities are plenty via thousands of plugins.
That must have been a long time ago, Boorish Bears.
Not too much for reprojection. That's a very specialized task that can be optimized for in hardware, without having to support all the typical operations of GPUs. That's not to say it's easy. It requires a large amount of engine integration and the client has to now know what amount of reprojection to apply when you turn, which may vary per game or context.

Hugely hugely impacts the complexity.
I'd be worried that multiple rounds of feedback back and forth would cost more time and money than doing it myself.

Having multiple people do the same thing, and finding people who are quality-oriented and trying to stick to them sounds clever, though.
Unlike say the Aztec, this truck is “radically functional” design. No paint and simple geometry make it easier to manufacture and more durable.

I don’t think the mandate was “make this look strange” as much as it was “make this thing rugged and fast and powerful and we’re perfectly fine with it looking strange”.

We’ll see if they were successful, but I like the ambition. I’ll be curious, too, to see if some of this more radical thinking comes over to the Tesla Semi.
I think there's also a lot of bot-detection-as-a-service around here that can be used by sites smaller than Google and Facebook, like WhiteOps or IAS anti-fraud.
> Hate speech definitely exists.

There’s plenty of stuff that you and I would both look at and say, “yep, that’s definitely hate speech”. There’s lots of stuff that I might call hate speech under any definition of it but you might think is perfectly reasonable. Since you’re defending censoring hate speech, I suspect there’s even more stuff that you would call hate speech but I would think is perfectly reasonable. And as we’ve seen over and over again, once you allow for censorship/cancellation based on “hate”, the definition of “hate” grows without bound.
This is the most accurate reply. The expression

Get["/"] = _ => "Hello World!";

is actually of the form a = b;

Where "a", i.e. "Get["/"]" is an array-like property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2549tw02.aspx ) and the "b" value assigned to it is an anonymous function with one parameter, i.e.

_ => "Hello World!"

In Nancy these handlers are of the type Func<dynamic, dynamic> ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb549151(v=vs.110).a... ) The parameter could be given any legal name, but an underscore is a convention meaning "I am not using this param".
Unfortunately there are a lot of people who behave really well and have really interesting things to say about tech, but for anything political, they just vent really hateful, angry things (or retweet the same). The Go community has a fair amount of this, sadly. It sucks to have to choose, but more importantly I think Twitter actually radicalizes people toward hate and divisiveness. I don't think these people were so hateful or angry ~7 years ago. When I look at the curated news section, it seems purpose-built to make me mad, with the dumbest, most toxic comments at the top.
Does anyone know any evidence for or against the feasibility of this concept? Policy makers in the uk are talking about investing in digital twins for the purpose of AI research and it just seems to be buzzword salad. Can someone point me to a reference?
Navy SEALs Inspecting Radioactive Ship Off New Jersey - http://www.foxnews.com/story/2002/09/12/navy-seals-inspectin...

On Tuesday November 3, a special Israel Navy force intercepted and boarded the cargo ship "Francop". Some 500 tons of weapons, rockets, and missiles were uncovered aboard the vessel, disguised as civilian cargo and hidden among hundreds of other containers. - http://mfa.gov.il/MFA/ForeignPolicy/Terrorism/Palestinian/Pa...

Greece intercepts mystery ship with 20,000 Kalashnikovs onboard - http://rt.com/news/greek-seize-ship-kalashnikov-503/

The Israeli navy released Monday afternoon the HMS Beethoven, a Liberian-flagged German vessel it apprehended 160 miles off the Israeli coast, on Sunday afternoon, on suspicion that it was carrying weapons headed to Gaza. Thorough overnight inspections of the cargo turned up nothing problematic, and the troops let the ship continue on its way. - http://www.timesofisrael.com/navy-releases-liberian-cargo-sh...

In January the amphibious transport USS San Antonio stopped a Russian-owned cargo ship, the Monchegorsk, in the Red Sea. US intelligence had received a tip that the freighter was carrying weapons exports from Iran – a violation of United Nations sanctions. A US Navy boarding party confirmed the presence of arms. ... As this incident shows, the US Navy and allies have ample experience at interdicting suspect vessels on the high seas. - http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Military/2009/0624/p02s04-usmi....

So you are right, these are not "just to have a look around." They are being stopped for a reason. Also, these couldn't wait until the ship got into port. In the first case, the ship might have had a nuclear bomb.

And I think the coast guards and navies want to continue to be able to stop ships at sea in the future and inspect cargo.

Also, the GPS wouldn't be 100ft behind the ship. The antenna needs to be above the surface, which means there would need to be a (visible) cable pull it along, and there would be an extra wake.
Will the end product be competitive if their launch costs are 2+ times the cost of their main competitor?
Lots of functional languages are just as warty as Objective-C, said the Smalltalker of over 10 years who also does Objective-C and is currently using Clojure.
I'm not sure that worked quite as well for Dart though.
First you have to master the tool, or even abuse it, then you get experienced. Or, you refuse to try those advanced language features and never get experienced.
But the distinction is that its wasn't the potential of losing Paris and Parisians that forced France to surrender. The French government judged that they had more to lose than gain from continuing to fight.
It's a great go-to in the unsolved mystery community when people look for a fun light-hearted mystery.
Until reading that article I'd have said the only thing that could be said in favour of Buzzfeed is that their listicles had fewer pretensions towards journalism (and better pictures) than most blogspam.
Hi, founder here. This is an early beta and if there is any Twitter aficionado around I would love some feedback and suggestions.

Sure, and I wasn't attempting to correct you. Merely pointing out the original premise is not true.
If you're not someone who can see that one class of window managers makes you much more productive than another, then quite frankly you're probably not a great programmer and just get by with some SO copy-paste, things might not be so good for you once the tech boom busts
> It's not about the physicality of the good. It's about it being rivalrous. If you take my money, I no longer have my money

But that's not true in the case of a bank account. Its insured. And often times you dont even get to see that the bank lost money, because of how banks are structured internally. And even if the bank can't insure it's the government can just print more money (and frequently does, without substantially impacting the value of the currencily). So me robbing your bank account isn't immoral, by your logic.

It seems to me like there is a hole in your metaphorical boat here if it allows such an obviously immoral action to be considered.

At some point you need to admit that reducing the potential value of someone else's work or property or depriving them of a livelihood in some fashion is some sort of theft. Otherwise you're just begging people to produce a series of trivial and obvious examples showing these kinds of obvious contradictions.

> Okay sure, but that doesn't change anything about my argument. Allbirds' look is being commoditized, and perhaps in the future there will be an entire category of minimally-branded wool shoes, just like today we have entire categories of similar-looking shoes like wingtips.

There already is this market. Tom's did it before and there are plenty of other examples. Amazon's specifically copying one vendor and then using their horizontal integration to hide the fact that Allbirds even exists.

That's not a commoditized good no matter how much you want to try and repeat the phrase.
