btw when i said notable I meant know-it-all... had hand surgery recently and speech-to-text is not 100%

the reason I came on so strong was that (maybe misguidedly) I felt like I really have to sell the idea of spending 10+ hrs on this, or of really being willing to go back to the drawing board if refs are" good but not great" -- there is so much inertia in the way people usually run the process. but i take your point that, in attempting to do so, I may have failed (and in fact come across smugly)...

I just finished the first episode. It's pretty good. I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it. It feels like an episode of the X-Files for anyone that is curious if it is worth the download.
Yeah, otherwise known as "disillusionment" I guess.
You're presented with captcha to make sure you're not a bot every time you make a search from tor
Yes! My £50.00 was well spent :-)
No, it's not. Software developers are human. Being a professional does not always override human nature. Statistically, most "professional" software developers will not want to adopt a language with a high cognitive load.
This same bug is probably what broke iPhones coming out of Do Not Disturb mode in January 2013. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/01/ask-ars-why-will-apples...
I hardcoded the .obj extensions to .c -- it's not accurate because of that.
This is honest-to-god magic. Some cyberpunk, neuromancer, hardcore reality-bending shit. The brain is the final frontier, if technology gets a foothold in there things are going to get WILD.

Also, as this stuff gets further along, there's going to be large incentives for unethical testing. Rockets can be tested with unmanned flights, but you can't really dry run brain implants.
Heh...

Reminds me of a scene in Billions last year with Wendy Rhoades and Taylor Mason. Taylor walked in the office and said they were atheist.

Wendy asked to buy their soul for $10 and gave them a piece of paper to sign.

There was a awkwardly long pause...

Sure, Nike perhaps does not really care. But deep inside, the cultural programming says its not a good look.

In a country with a 16 trillion dollar GDP and a 3.5 trillion dollar budget how big would the salaries need to be to make our government officials incorruptible?

It's a bigger stakes game here in the USA.
No. The cost of local inventory on display, getting shopworn(then sold cheap), getting stolen, needing to be watched and manual sales process and schlepping and Returns are time consuming. Versus online view, buy, autoschlepp - first time to see the real thing in person - most people accept, some reject = counter schlepp and credit.
AMazon and similar formats will win, the most efficient will strangle the rest.
Exceptions will be special niches that Amazon does not want to engage.
> In my view, the real question is why others are so willing to give up their sovereignty and right to self determination?

You are an anarchist then?
Otherwise as an sovereign individual, how can you justify being part of nation with laws over you?

It's not so much giving up sovereignty as pooling it.
ie you trade your right to do so as you wish, for a guarantee that others can't just do as they wish on agreed areas - like rape, murder, stealing etc.

Same argument applies to countries - they submit to the ICC, but are also party to shaping it - it's an agreement between countries about what is 'beyond the pale'.

The sad fact is, however the US see's it's self, the rest of the world is increasingly seeing the US as the largest threat to world peace.
https://fullfact.org/news/america-world-peace/

In my view, the US need to have a long hard look at themselves and re-discover their moral mojo.
Why these rules are violated?
I'm currently working on Sitesauce[0], a service that generates a static site from any CMS and uploads it to Netlify or Zeit. It used to require you to host a CMS instance somewhere public, but I've just released a CLI tool that allows you to deploy a local CMS as a static site to the internet. Hopefully it'll help someone :D

You completly miss the point of what made pipe so useful.
Good languages existed back than too, and there were as powerful as today, as they are complicated and timeconsuming. They are simply not an alternative for this.
I predict that when I look out my door to the east tomorrow morning, I will see Apollo's chariot ascending through the firmament.

My prediction has never turned out to be false. It's a useful prediction.
Disclaimer: I hate Google Analytics because I hate Google, I hate monopolies, and I hate excessive hoarding of user data. I think the necessary aspects of tracking can be maintained without having all the bad aspects, but we need to break up the ad companies first.

> without watching exactly how every customer looks at shelves

This is absolutely not true. Do you have experience with managing brick and mortar stores? Ever been to a grocery store with a "discount"/rewards program? That's their tracking of individual behavior.

They also use credit card data for the same purpose, although CC data is less reliable than rewards cards.

Coupons accomplish the same thing. You put out a specific coupon code for each newspaper/circular/TV ad, and then you see how they convert.

Things like Google Analytics are just the web version of things that have been done for almost 100 years.
1. Is instance management on ECS really annoying enough to justify the higher fargate price?

2. Does ECS have something similar to pods, i.e. colocated containers which can communicate over localhost, share filesystems, etc? A quick search didn't turn anything up.
Long and tedious is the definition of an unsuitable human mental process.
From the author in this thread: "Under the hood, Serverless UI uses the AWS CDK to build a CloudFormation template with a few assumptions built-in (eg. deploying a static UI, anything in /functions becomes an endpoint, etc)."
You own your Bitcoin as long as there is at least a single node out there storing its Blockchain. But it would be the only instance left that could confirm your ownership in that doomsday vision of yours.

You can think of Bitcoin as a kind of identity management system. The blockchain stores transactions mapping public keys to each other and monetary values. As long as you remember the private key matching your public key you can issue transactions on the blockchain.

Contrary to common belief Bitcoin is not stored on your hard drive, they contain only your private keys. The monetary units themselves, “UTXOs”, are stored on the network of Bitcoin nodes distributed all over the world.
> saying that people of a certain race can’t provide a driver’s license or some other state id because they have a certain skin color seems a little racist (?)

Maybe easier to understand if we recall that "race" is sociological, not biological, and that skin color is a course-grained encoding society uses for mapping individuals to social identities?

From that perspective, what we're really saying is "our society has historically split people up into various sub groups, and some of those sub groups we've made it more difficult to access resources, and many common identifying documents are tied to access to these resources, so groups with less access are also less likely to have the accompanying documents."

Requiring documents that we know some groups of Americans, on average, are less likely to have, for something ALL Americans are entitled to, is problematic, no?
I'm totally on board with not obsessing over user behavior or tweaking unrelated things in hopes of a revenue boost, but I prefer the scientific approach, which means I still want metrics. I'd like to know when I make a product change whether that improves the number of people who see my product and stick around versus seeing and leaving.

I don't have anything live that uses Google Analytics but I've used it once or twice in the past, and the primary thing they got right is that it's just so dang easy, and I'm almost guaranteed to have the data I want. I'd so much rather support an open source product that does the same, though.
>> If there is a specific infrastructure being leveraged by the someone to attack someone else, and the owner of the infrastructure is not taking steps to prevent its misuse, then yes, of course.

> you have not seen fit to specifically state that companies like linkedin should move all their servers outside the US/UK/FVEY countries, reserving that course of action only for chinese companies.

Yes, I have. See quote above.
Dolphins or apes may have a recognizable culture, but they don't have a Turing-complete language. This is the main distinction.
Another vote for Make It Stick. I did much better in my classes and was much more efficient in my prep using the SPRInt method (Spaced Repetition, Interleaving topics, Testing). I tried to read 'How we learn' but it really couldn't hold a candle to Make It Stick.
For Less and Sass, it's not very annoying because you don't have to write a lot of ruby code. But writting a complete deployment script if you don't know ruby is very hard... I love to be able to use my favorite JS modules in my deploy script, that's why I wrote Shipit.
I really hate these `position: fixed` left-hand navigations. On my Macbook everything after the "Market Data" section is below the scroll and can't be seen.
What are you talking about? Many countries have gone "first" :

I do not think that you need to introduce wave-function collapse here, because there is no need for the universe to be fundamentally non-linear - it suffices for the Poincare recurrence time to be extremely large.

Like phase transitions in statistical mechanics, could it no be that chaos is just an emergent effect that arises from the quantum dynamics of infinitely many particles? (The appearance of non-linearities in that limit happens to also be discussed in the MIT paper of the quanta article.)
It's more than just making a point though. It's having a principled belief in something and standing by it. That's fine if you don't feel that way, but there are lots of us that feel very negatively towards facebook and its impact on society.

It's not about making a point, it's about not actively being part of the thing I see as a problem.
This is a downright misleading website.

Tag line: "Find awesome free illustration packs for all your projects."

The first pack I clicked on (https://www.vektors.pro/illustration-packs/open-source-illus...)

Contains at least 3 trademarks(Nintendo, Marvel, and Sega), and you'd be opening yourself up to a lawsuit if you used them in a commercial endeavor.
They have differing moral foundations. I have no problem with Facebook. (I don't work there though)
Ah, latin america.

Ah, Brazil.
pedantic rant. We're not a democracy. We're a federal republic. Democracy is mob rule.
Are you intentionally hyperbolizing, or do you honestly believe that the government will shut down MMORPGs? Further, I'd like to see some arguments to back up your assertion about Bitcoin. I disagree with domain seizures, but gambling sites do seem to be in violation of federal law, while Bitcoin seems to be in the clear, as it is simply a virtual good.
In the 1990s it may well have helped contribute to an attitude where nobody stopped to think whether business practices are anti-competitive.

It also contributed to some really horrible software. At one point in the early 2000s I was meeting with Windows architects about one highly-vulnerable part of IE that was causing all kinds of security grief, and the challenges of rewriting it because its API was badly crafted. Somebody explained it like this: "You've got to understand the history. We took a lot of short cuts because we wrote it during a war."
Or... download Opera and the ad block is built in.
It may be perverse, but my first thought upon reading this was "Why would he stop eating gluten if he thinks it is Celiac disease? Wouldn't it be a more effective test to double or triple the gluten intake, and see if things get worse?"

Is this guy seriously declaring a legitimate question to be absurd a priori, without any discussion or supporting ideas?

Ayup.

When I was an undergrad about twenty years ago (brlewis, you were an undergrad then, too, right?), the Dean for Undergraduate Education was on record as saying “too many MIT graduates work for too many Harvard and Princeton graduates”, and the administration was retooling its admissions policy and curriculum so that the school wouldn’t have such a single-minded focus on training people to be brillant engineers.

Has the pendulum swung back since then?
This is really cool. I would send this over to Sebastian Marshall at sebastianmarshall.com. His blog has a good amount of readers and I think he would love to cover something like this.
Is there a similar version (something like Heist) but for Python?
Thanks! I was wondering how to spread the word about this. I think Lifehacker would be interested too. I'll be sure to contact Sebastian Marshall.
Who cares about programmer productivity? The whole notion of trying to quantify, measure and predict it is anti-thematic to what's going on at Y Combinator.

Want to see programmer productivity? I'll show you it to you in retrospect. Tools?!?! Languages?!?! How about passion and motivation???

If you're a big company trying to implement the next big thing, just buy it or hire someone with a track record of success.
Clasic economics would say therefore the lower profit margin + slotting fee should equal the higher margin of the house brands.

I wonder if that's roughly true? I could imagine both yes and no. Classic economics, sort of by definition, can't take real world edge effects into account.
This feels like working really hard to solve a problem that isn't yours. Why not just get your services from a company that will support you? Why is GCP worth doing this for?
Fortunately, becoming hot is easier that reverting baldness :)

I understood that hair transplants don’t look natural because the implants are not at the random angles of natural hair follicles and so the hair tends to look “stiff” and unnatural. This does seem to be the case with Elon.
Prejudice has never been insightful.
I hate when websites do that, especially since it is often when I'm trying to get to the footer for a link. Or when a story becomes another as you finish reading, changing the address at the same time. Awful.
Note that right now we're burning the natural gas either way. How much of the helium we get out depends upon market use of natural gas, and market prices about whether we even bother to capture the helium from natural gas supplies that are rich in helium.
Yeah! You can see where to watch any movie or show; either via a streaming service, or via ads/rent/buy options. This can be viewed by region also.
Property prices in CA have risen because salaries and IPOs have enabled people to compete for property.

Property owners should be able to keep an affordable tax and their home, regardless of what their home cost.

Raising property taxes based on market values, is taxing people based on how much other people want their homes.

I agree that property taxes should be reformed.

Let’s not make houses even more risky and expensive to own.

Instead, let’s fund public services in other ways, so school quality isn’t dependent on the average income bracket of the neighborhood, for example.
cowsay and do-not-run-me are up against each together in the ls when I check in safari, i.e. it's not obvious that they're separate commands.
Chris Crawford is a name I immediately recognize as a pioneer in early video game development, particularly the Atari 8-bit. I eagerly consumed every bit of information about the Atari in BYTE and pieces of De Re Atari (the bible for that platform) I could get my hands on.

I've played Eastern Front and Balance of Power (on Atari ST) but they weren't my cup of tea--I was into graphics and animated gameplay. Similarly I preferred Risk to Avalon Hill board games. I did have a friend/roommate who was really into Balance of Power, he would play it all the time, over and over. I didn't 'get' it, but he obviously did.

From Wikipedia entry[0]

> I dreamed of the day when computer games would be a viable medium of artistic expression — an art form. I dreamed of computer games encompassing the broad range of human experience and emotion: computer games about [...] All of these things and more were part of this dream, but by themselves they amounted to nothing, because all of these things have already been done by other art forms. There was no advantage, no purchase, nothing superior about this dream, it's just an old rehash. All we are doing with the computer, if all we do is just reinvent the wheel with poor grade materials, well, we don't have a dream worth pursuing. But there was a second part of this dream that catapulted it into the stratosphere. The second part is what made this dream important and worthy: that is interactivity.

I feel some of this too, like the poor quality games that came out with CD-ROM, and each new technology recently VR that initially only scratches the surface. I do see this has been improving steadily with the diversity, budgets, and mind share that video games are gaining. I do see the art form in many recent 'game' titles so don't despair the future of gaming.

There are a lot of real problems that DNSSEC can help solve.

I fully embrace that we get more value out of providing free food than it costs us. That plus the fact that almost everyone seems to like it is enough of a reason to do it.

Is sitting together and talking about your job ONLY beneficial to the employer? I feel like better communication and more discussion hopefully leading to doing a better job is also beneficial to the employee. Working on a more successful team probably leads to higher satisfaction and better long term career prospects. Even when I've worked in places that didn't provide food, all or almost all of the team still usually ate together, just because we liked what we were doing and enjoyed one another's company.

My point is employees aren't losing anything by taking or not taking the perk. We wouldn't pay someone more not to eat the food. Aside from all the weird bad team dynamics that would cause it would also be a net-loss to the company. When people work from home, we also don't pay them any more, despite that we order less food and they have to buy/cook their own.

Your CSV peeking epiphany was in essence a matter of code vs. tools though rather than necessarily CLI vs. GUI. On Windows you might just as well have discovered you could fire up Linqpad and enter File.ReadLines("massive.csv").First() for example.
Follow the link to his earlier blog post "Google started this":

Bullshit. Google started this. It was Google that turned its sights on the iPhone. [...] They made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.

There’s no question it’s a dick move on Apple’s part. But what’s the argument against it? That Google gets a pass for being dicks to Apple, and Apple ought to just sit there and take it?

What is Gruber suggesting that Google shouldn't get a pass for being dicks about here?

I understand what he's saying Apple are being dicks about, and it's not competing in ads. It's a dick move to begin competing in ads and start by banning your main competitor's product from the market you control.
It's possible that live the vuvuzelas are amazing, but on my TV it sounds like a group of angry bees are flying around, probably because the sound is reduced to two channels (left, right). But I must say, in the Netherlands vs Denmark match, the vuvuzelas weren't that awful.
>Gruber thinks competing with the iPhone is "a dick move"? That seems an odd opinion, yet boldly stated as if it was normal.

Well they entered the phone business licensing their software for zero dollars. It's a fairly common thing that software companies do - Sun dumped a ton of money into OpenOffice just to be a pain in the ass to Microsoft, Microsoft keeps trying to do search and maps for god knows what reason when it isn't making them money.

If the software industry were more mature they wouldn't rise to the press's baiting about "killing" each other and just put resources into their core products and make those great.
