I don't understand what he is saying. Aren't dollars just worthless pieces of paper? They are only worth something because people accept them as payment. Obviously at the moment investing in BitCoins is rather speculative, but so is investing in other currencies (and dollars don't have the best reputation anymore, either).

If he converts everything into dollars and dollars are being devalued, he loses. Is he saying that dollars are the only solid currency in the world, and everybody should convert all their assets into dollars as fast as possible?

What city are you located in? Also in the Midwest and know a few places I could potentially intro you to. Feel free to get in touch.
And that's exactly why it needs to be flagged and deleted. Politics stories are like weeds -- they'll quickly take over the entire damn garden if you don't aggressively pluck 'em out when you see 'em.
Makes me curious about what else "isn't news" that I don't know about this "discovery". That's a lot of awkwardly disclosed (if at all), personal (why do they even care), unencrypted data points (I'd be in trouble for not encrypting) for the one of the world's most valuable companies to persist into eternity. Would it be news if this was MSFT?

Maybe the news just hasn't happened yet?
I'll bet it would have gained a lot more traction if Al Gore hadn't popularized it. You lose 50% of the country right there.
This headline is a bit confusing: Chrome OS is probably "less than free"; the rumor is that the devices will be subscription-based (aka rent-to-own). Next up: customers complaining about ETFs on their "free" netbooks.
This is a good idea and would be a really useful service, but doing it this way doesn't work. What the app is doing is using SMTP to try various permutations of the name to see if the email is rejected or accepted by the email server. The problem is that almost every email server is configured to return false data for spam protection. If you want to see the process in more detail, you can look at http://centralops.net/co/ which will make the queries directly.

One could use the google API to make a better version of this with more intelligence. Often you can use google to find email addresses of a company's employees with some educated guessing, or you can at least figure out the format (eg firstname.lastname@example.com). As it stands this current version only works with perhaps 1 in 5 or 10 domains.
It's interesting that SSH requires the server to respond with a message upon connection, independent of whether the client sends anything - perhaps hiding the service on a different port was not a strong consideration when it was designed.

On the other hand, HTTP and SSL/TLS servers will just wait silently for the client to initiate the conversation.
I support the EFF and the protection of fair use, but I don't think this article is well written enough to make a good case for it. It makes some coherent points near the end of the article, but the beginning is just a jumble of statements that introduce a fair amount of confusion.

For instance:
"New technologies and services depend on the creation of multiple copies as a matter of course. At the same time, copyright terms cover works many decades old and copyrighted software appears in more and more devices."

That's just a mess of an argument. What does it even mean? "Copyrighted software appears in more and more devices." Hasn't every electronic device ever invented (from the Sony Walkman days, to VCRs, to every flat screen television on the planet) contained copyrighted software? How is that "more and more"? I don't get the argument here.
Python does not have anywhere near a fixed layout.

Off the top of my head:

* When / if single-line if / while / etc statements are used
* How many blank lines are used between functions
* How often blank lines are used in functions
* How much indentation is used for initializing lists / etc.
* If multiline strings are used.

Etc.

Some of these are covered by PEPs, yes, but enough people don't follow PEPs religiously that even those offer some information.
Why does it matter here? Are you so worried that someone will eavesdrop on your blog reading?
This is a $100 billion idea? Maybe, sure. But how is this, as opposed to Oculus or Glass or Magic Leap or or or, worth $100B?
Thanks for this, looks like like a better, more encompassing version of the evil-mode + customisations that I've hacked together thus far for emacs.

Amongst many other changes I've remapped the spacebar (while in normal mode) to send a C-x, colon (:) to send a M-x, so I have access to a ton of emacs commands while mainly just using vim.
> What happens to the price of a single good over the lifetime of that good is not a useful lesson in what happens as a result of broad, economy-wide deflation.

True. But why then the article is titled "Why Falling Prices Are Actually a Really Bad Thing" and not "Why Deflation Is Actually a Really Bad Thing"?

I can imagine economy where you don't have deflation, prices of all products fall, and the economy is actually growing, because people produce and buy completely new products they could not afford before.
I would say building a simple HTTPd server would be something a lot of people could get behind.

Naturally it wouldn't follow the entire reference and specification but just getting it off the ground handling gets/posts in a psuedo standard conforming way would be a lot.

Also this would cover a lot of the basics of OS interaction, multi-threading, etc.

That's my 2cents. I would love to see more rust books come out. I'll happily buy them. I use the language on and off (primarily jumping between C, Java and Rust (former 2 for work)). Rust's high level programming is very nice and while Java does support some of the things rust does, its not as clean as Rust's syntax.
I want to see someone implement surround sound with head tracking. Some Googling turns up some research projects that have done this with either face tracking or accelerometers. And at least one (expensive) commercial product.

I wonder if someone could do it with a software implementation that just takes 5.1 input and uses only a camera or some inexpensive hardware?
I suspect this isn't a goal of those Ruby devs. It almost seems that "Ruby" is more like an ideology rather than a language, at least from comments like "Continuous changes is Ruby."

Note that I'm not trying to criticize this position, rather, I'm pointing out that the core Ruby team seems to have different goals than, say, the community around Java or C#.
That's the party line. It's often wrong. If two copies of the same program are running, they share memory for code. For a shared library to reduce memory consumption, there must be multiple different programs using the same version of the same library. That's not all that common, beyond very basic libraries such as "libc".

Linking to a shared library brings in and initializes the whole library, even if you only need one function from it. So you tend to get stuff paged in during load that never gets used.
Minifying the code does not optimize it in any way. It just makes it more compact (and less readable).

I am not sure we are talking about the same thing here. What we are talking here is you inputting Java (and the most readable Java code is not that readable to begin with) into utterly unreadable JavaScript that's also less efficient than what a human experienced in JavaScript would be able to write and larger than the minified version of whatever that experienced human would be able to write.
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" seems to fit nicely here.
It's not going to "kill" the iPhone, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has contributed to preventing mass-adoption. A few weeks back I directly measured justin.tv's Flash stats - a staggering 98.9% of our visitors have Flash 10.0 or greater installed. I think that's going to influence what people expect on a really widely adopted mobile web browsing platform.
I think you need to use a different word than "network". I've seen a few places in this thread where you've used the phrase "secure network". To what I would assume is the majority of your target market, a "secure network" has to do with computer networking.

To me, just by glancing at your descriptions, it sounds like you've made something like a private bittorrent tracker, or a private VPN, or something like that. I know this isn't what it is, but if I came across your page, that is what I would assume it was.
- The client can stop an incoming push (send reset on the pushed stream). Due to latency it might waste some bandwidth, but it's deemed to be an insignificant problem, since otherwise nothing else would be using the connection anyway.

- It's independent of the protocol. Each server can invent its own method. Personally I'm hoping servers/proxies will "upgrade" some HTTP/1.1 Link header to PUSH, e.g.:

Link: </style.css>; rel=preload
Captain Kevin Larson was a murderer.
This is VNC is provided by QEMU, not OS.
I also would be fine as long as "or worse fines will follow" is true.

I would consider as desirable that egregious, systematic and catastrophic security failures would be resulting in fines and penalties large enough to bankrupt companies[0]. But starting from that is rather not a good idea, I agree that some warning is a good idea.

[0] for example 2000$ for every single leaked address that they deliberately collected (if company is scared: then they should not ask user for address data! Companies very rarely actually need it, and they still ask.).
As a NZer in the UK who has had shot 1 for my vaccination, I just hope this is the beginning of a way for people like us to come back without dealing with MIQ.
The most recent Dutch data has 21% of blood donors with antibodies.

https://www.sanquin.nl/over-sanquin/nieuws/2021/03/corona-an...

Interestingly, the percentage is higher (26%) in the southern provinces of Limburg and Noord-Brabant, which were hit hardest by the first wave due to a combination of Carnival (only celebrated in those areas) and differently timed February school vacations.

Some of this probably is a vaccination effect- they've noticed that women were more likely to have antibodies than men, and more of the female donors were healthcare workers.
> when I try to impose my timelines on my team

As a senior developer, I don't like this sentence. If you want an estimate on a certain job, you ask your team. If you want to know what can be done in a fixed time-frame, you ask your team.

I don't take "imposed" timelines well. In such scenario's, I make it very clear who is at fault when deadlines are not met (hint: it's not me or my fellow developers). When you push back on this, I will ask who made this unrealistic estimate. Ah? You mean the people who know the least of the work made the estimate? Well, then it's normal the deadline was shit, no? Maybe next time, ask the developers, they probably are the best at making estimates of their work.

When you say "gut" feeling of developers, you probably mean the instant reaction they give when you tell them the timeline. Well, it can't be "informed" because you didn't ask them to make an estimate did you? Developers need time making an estimate. "Gut" feeling is probably your developers thinking "WTF?!?!?!?".

I always educate my managers on who makes the estimates, how much time it takes to make the estimate, and how estimates and deadlines are not the same. I hope you also have a senior developer under you who can educate you on this topic ;).
They used to make ~$4B/yr.
> and the maintainers seem to disagree they exist, which is a shame

Does this extend also to the case of when someone submits a pull request to them, or only for issues that people file?

If the former then it is truly problematic. If the latter they may be simply overworked/overburdened by the volume of issues that are being filed, and could need more people submitting pull requests instead of opening issues.
Very good find and a payout with a “High” severity bug with a thorough report and for $35k for one person from high school.

Great job.
Although it's important to have that level of freedom, it hasn't always been the case in the PC world. Furthermore, there are OSes out there working on PC which don't have that level of interop. Finally, some people don't have 2 different OSes installed, and if their setup breaks, they'll surely need another box to fix it.

OTOH, needing a second machine for that sort of maintenance (installing a second drive iiuc) seems indeed quite a big requirement.
Why do you care about open buffers? When I first started using emacs I cared because other text editors force you to care by displaying "tabs" or the like for each open buffer. But emacs is better than that. The only time I ever see all open buffers is if I do M-x list-buffers, and I never do that. Other than that, open buffers never get in the way. I do use midnight-mode to kill all "old" buffers in the middle of the night to stop the memory usage growing indefinitely, though.
Maybe I am off, but that read almost like sarcasm (see reference to "copious free time" in fine print).
> rhyming trees with kisses is pretty poor compared to cerizos and besos which is perfect rhyme

I read the spanish version from the link you posted and, although I don't speak spanish, it doesn't look like there is any other rhyme at all in the whole poem. Am I right? Do you think that this was intentional - does it mean something in spanish/latin american poetry?
Don't insult Costco like that.
I think what's interesting is that this in intended to give artists buy-in to the streaming service. If they can get enough exclusive material and artists, I could see it take off. A few months ago I remember reading a post by an artist that said this is the only way for artists to get their fair share, but no one was big enough to tackle it, maybe Jay Z is the guy to do it?
Let me rephrase: being around such a person would probably rub me the wrong way, but I wouldn't refuse to work in a company with assholes, because every company has an unpleasant person once in a while.

Jealousy? Of what? Of wanting too much?
The article talks about the re-render of Toy Story 1 in 3D, not Toy Story 3.
Have great customer service!
So many "new interface" ideas seem to forget that a large percentage of what people use computers for is in offices, producing documentation. Using your voice, or spinning 3D interfaces around with your hands, just isn't practical in an office environment with dozens of people working, where you are essentially outputting text.

Until that basic reality changes, I don't think mainstream computing needs will change. Along the same lines, I don't think the reverse is feasible, with computing interface changes bringing about social changes. The shifts we've seen from hand-writing to type-writing to computer-based word-processing has been happening in roughly the same environment for a very long time.
Thanks :-) It would definitely be good if the map could at some point highlight disruptions, or closed stations/lines, yes (along with other things it could show, such as trains at depots if we know where the depots are). Source is available at http://github.com/dracos/underground-live-map :)
I also worked my way literally around the world - 3 continents - and it drove me absolutely batty. I worked maybe 3-4 hours a day max but was as burnt out as this one time I worked 100-hour weeks.

I've simply come to the conclusion that while it SOUNDS appealing to me, like gourmet olives, in reality, it takes a certain kind of person to actually enjoy it... and I'm not one of them.

But, like gourmet olives, clearly other people really do enjoy it.
I used to keep a txt file of my favorite TED Talks. A while ago my mom was having issues with iWeb so I used my TED list as test content in order to trouble shoot. It's just links with some notes about why I liked it or what made it memorable for me but I still reference it every now and then when I'm in need of inspiration.

You are missing the crucial point. The force in a cave in the middle of the earth is ZERO, there is NO force directed to the center of the cave. This is not an intuitively correct statement, but if you carry out the calculation you will see that it is true. If you take a solid sphere and carve out a spherical cave in the center, then everywhere (not just in the center) inside this cave all the little forces from all the atoms of the big solid sphere cancel out.

So this means that inside the cave the black hole will just move in one direction, until it hits the wall. Then it will suck up some mass and be pulled back to the center. Then it will suck up some mass on the other side, etc.

The only way the black hole will remain in the cave is if you put it in the cave with exactly zero velocity to begin with. As soon as one atom falls into it it will start to eat up the earth.
"Thats their share of the total car market."

Yes, which is what the article is about. This article is not about a specific segment. This article is about Tesla selling more vehicles than Volvo, Chrysler, and 8 other manufacturers.
Yeah, I was also under the impression that Versailles has been royalty-free for many years now.
Although I hav no knowledge on the matter, why is there an assumption that this means the iPhone 5 won't have NFC?
I'd imagine if Apple were to introduce NFC it would do so by bringing on board a few large retailers who would support it and get key recognition at the iPhone 5 event.
Square would still serve a role with smaller businesses and for person to person transactions for a while I'd imagine, on top of which one would assume that square would eventually rely on NFC as well and drop the attachment.
Or maybe Apple would buy them outright - hence the reason to establish this relationship now.
Assuming it's the same group that they hired to block the media from talking to cleanup workers, they are armed. Previously BP had the national guard blocking the island, that was exposed and they had to go, then it was the local police, which was then exposed, now they are down to private guards.
Great. They're not just censoring the Internet (poorly), they're also breaking it too. Fantastic.
> I have no idea how many browsers support looking up SRV before A.

Firefox doesn't support it, which I think is rather disappointing. The feature request has been around since 1999. Good SRV record support across browsers would assist with many other issues too.

I believe it was only un-logged-in users (if you log in, in most cases that takes precedence over your IP for Wikipedia's software). But yes still rather strange, and could prevent people who didn't already have accounts from creating them.

Just go to other company. Surely it's a perfect market economy and there's any kind of agreement that prevents you to be hired: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/24/apple-goo...

There's just one way to prevent the "disproportionate corporate power", its called unions. Wait! Maybe you'll be fired if you try to create one.
I only use old reddit and can post/view ```code blocks``` without issue.
That's a good way to put it (I had the idea while using Jekyll for my own blog).
You mean they have pressured the Swiss to stop laundering and storing drug and Nazi money, which is totally a big deal.
Looks to me like it is a simulation that allows reinforcement AI training to do "real world" tasks. I.e. a test bench for using computer vision, and AI to generate a set of assembly instructions.
> Some advice I've read is to only use unsigned integers if you want to explicitly opt-in to having overflow be defined behavior.

I read somewhere that the true reason for that advice is that it allows the compiler to silently store an "int" loop counter in a 64-bit register, without having to care about 32-bit overflow. If you use size_t for the loop counter, that's no longer an issue.
One of the results from the abstract were interesting:

"The heritability did differ across informants, with stronger heritability estimates based on parent report versus self-report or observations."

Parents see their kids differently than the kids see them selves I guess? I wonder if we tend to compare our kids to their siblings when we report on things like this. I wonder if only children would have different parent reported traits on things like this? I guess we all see ourselves different than others see us.
Of course. You can define more or less anything in this language. And, actually, someone has already done exactly that. See http://flocq.gforge.inria.fr/ . Never used it myself so I do not know whether it is any good.
Ah, I don't think ref counting is generally considered GC. It's more like RAII and used in C++ elsewhere via shared_ptr.
Also, it is a good point that anyone holding debt denominated in dollars will find their debts disappear. I'm not sure this is a positive outcome.

It's positive for the borrower, negative for the lender. Same as any unanticipated inflation. In your example, it's just a more extreme case.

I take your point that a lot of pensions hold real property, but they also hold a significant amount of dollar-denominated assets. They don't have to go to zero for my raining cats and dogs point to hold, they just have to decline a significant amount.

The denomination doesn't matter as long as it's a real asset. If it's property, you can sell the house in a new currency. If it's a share in a company, the shares may be quoted in dollars, but they can always be sold in another currency.

This isn't to say that there wouldn't be massive upheaval, I just don't see it happening in the way you do. The impact would be more like the scenario if the dollar doesn't become the world's reserve currency. There would be significant increases in US borrowing costs, and a long term drop in our growth rate. But assets won't go to zero.
Minor nit, but I believe that his description of the async pattern in future is not only monadic, but also comonadic.

I'm measuring tracking so I need to have the page semi-idle while trackers show up, so it's both speed and allowing some waiting-around-time.
BLM was far from grassroots, Mueller investigation revealed us how it was propped up by Russian trolls. Heck they ran their biggest social media pages.
I would argue no, because the problem can be fixed without changing the laws, and I'm not convinced that it can be fixed by just changing the laws. People doing things that are illegal doesn't get fixed by making another law against it. So no, I don't think it means that in practice it is the same thing.
I think people definitely need a phone. Maybe not an iPhone or even a computer, but access to email and internet is a must for applying to jobs, paying taxes or... finding out where to get Covid jabs.

It's the same way you don't need a car either, but you're going to struggle.
