He's not upset, he simply likes for things presented as facts to actually be facts and for the representation to fit reality without cherry picking the bits that support the foregone conclusion.

Abstracting problems is not always the right solution, but for some reason (I think it's mostly a social effect) seem to have an overwhelming desire to abstract away problems.

"XMPP support is slowly but surely being removed (just imagine a phone system where every number you call to may require a different telephone)"

So what happens in these kinds of cases is that somebody invents an abstraction (a metaprotocol) that cross-connects all of these. And then somebody comes up with yet another protocol that doesn't fit into the metaprotocol (or some slow moving standards body can't fit the new one in), so somebody else comes up with a metametaprotocol that bundles the metaprotocol and the new one in....and its abstractions all the way up..

Until somebody realizes that the tower of abstraction is introducing 300ms of lag into things and we all pine away for the good old days of just XMPP or whatever.

There's nothing that prevents technically oriented people from setting up ftp, nntp, smtp, mtp, etc. servers and so on except that these things really tend to rely on some kind of software running on the user's OS and these days people pretty much just run a browser and not much else.

The answer then is move the functions those protocols supported into the browser (like in the way that most browsers support ftp), but it's just not worth trying to shove telnet or whatever into browser support, so people just replicate whatever telnet is supposed to do into a web app that's access over http.

I think more troubling though is non-browser server-server communication is now just http. Sure it's pretty simple, but for server-to-server communication there's almost always a better protocol to use, but people can't be bothered to come up with one.
yeah, but what are the terms of the license/lease. I haven't read it/don't know, but what if the terms are basically "you have access for as long as we feel like giving you access"
> Humans are intelligent creatures and villagers killed are a result of encroaching the animals rightful land.

What are you going on about?

A lion will hunt where there is food for it. Even if there's a single village in all of Zimbabwe, it will go there and take the easy meal. There's nothing easier than eating livestock. The livestock is trapped, defenseless, and absolutely tasty.

> There are no condolescence for those deaths caused by one's own mistake.

What mistake? Existing?

> Here at least American's are being right to care about 3000 tigers or lions instead of over 7 billion humans.

Can you help everyone out? Please go to Zimbabwe and feed yourself to a lion. It will help the lion out. It will provide several days worth of sustenance. You're a bit more bony than a cow, but I'm pretty sure the lion won't complain too much. On top of everything, there will be one less human around! Win/win!

>There is such a thing as a soft authoritarian, single party, free market state. They are doing it.

Even the worst leadership can make the jump from farming to industry. This is more or less the story of communism in the 50s and 60s. Suddenly, a lot of farmers went from backbreaking work just being able to feed themselves to making products. This is an economic force multiplier. The problem is autocratic states can't get past this stage very well. Compare N Korea and S Korea's GDP per capita over the decades, past the 1970s, the South led and had to liberalize a lot to continue growth. Now they're seen as a economic miracle at $26,000 GDP per capita compared to the North's $1,800. In the 50s and 60s we all sat stunned at how well the North was beating the South! Now they're an international laughingstock.

>The idea that political freedoms necessary for democracy are intertwined with the economic freedoms necessary for capitalism had a lot of traction

When everyone gets sick of factory work and realizes they own no property, can't give their children a better life, can't open their own businesses, have to bribe everyone to get even the basic services, etc they will have problems the same way N Korea, Cuba, and the USSR did. They just haven't hit that wall yet. That wall is coming. There's no avoiding it. They will either liberalize to stay competitive or pull a Putin and say "This is good enough, right here" and fall deeper into isolation, autocracy, corruption, economic stagnation, and more mindless jingoism/island annexation.

On the Gear VR (dev kit, 2014) there was a 2.5k screen at a smooth 60fps. The consumer Gear VR coming out this fall will likely have a 2.5k screen but we'll likely see 4k screens on mobile headsets in 2016. 120fps will be a nice improvement but not required, with the Rift CV1 at 90fps and sufficient for presence. So we're talking a 2-4x difference.

The graphics card issue is not that relevant, Gear VR with a mobile GPU is showing that it's not really about some arbitrary graphical fidelity bar. Yes, some of the highest fidelity cool stuff will be on PC but multiple cards won't be required. Both the Vive and CV1 will run great on one high end card, and by the time they upgrade to ~4k/120Hz... they'll still require just 1 card.

>> That makes no sense. I don’t see how regulation might conceivably make it more difficult for “unregistered drivers” to rape women.

Easy - minicabs are not allowed to hang around outside clubs and pubs looking for business. Therefore drunk women are less likely to just stumble into any old car outside the venue, because they know the legal operators are a call (or app-click or whatever) away. They call a cab service, the call is on record, the company is licensed, the car that picked her up is recorded, the driver is a known individual.

>> All you need to understand is that even if it did, the rapists would just move on to more opportune circumstances for finding victims.

Maybe so, maybe not, it certainly takes away one comparatively easy avenue of attack.

>> Therefore, the regulation is not justified by the idea of preventing rape. It’s just not going to. I doubt you sincerely thought it would either.

Actually people think that in general it has helped. I'm not sure how possible it is to say definitely that is has or it hasn't helped the overall number of rapes, there's certainly no solid ground for you to say "Therefore the regulation is not justified".

>> Alright, that’s it. I’m withdrawing your benefit of the doubt. Do you want me to believe you have no idea how people make successful sales on eBay, for example?

I withdrew yours some time ago, you're clearly driven by ideology rather than reality. Yes, I know about ebay and rating services. No, I don't agree they're fit for purpose in all instances, sorry.

>> There’s always a reason. It’s just that it’s never to benefit the public, because there’s no point in ruling over people besides to benefit at their expense.

More ideologically driven nonsense. It's very often to benefit the public.

>> How about: ”adhere to this contract, or we’ll sue you”?

Again, the action has already happened, already made other lives worse. And that still doesn't address the change in usage pattern and how that impacts the other residents.

>> There’s a certain group of “people” that sure likes talking about “externalities”.. :P

I don't even know what you mean by this.

>> Oh you managed to sneak in some shaming too! Well done!

No, there was no shaming implied there, simply stating that very often rules and regs have grown in these areas for good reasons that protect people and listing a few areas in which I consider them both useful and important.

--edit-- Please note I'm not saying Uber fall foul of that particular taxi regulation, it was just an example of a regulation that was put in place to protect the public even if you think it was misguided. Uber's model of using an app to request a car certainly seems to fall within the law there.
I don't think you are alone in your perspective. But I do cry for humans. There is nothing more powerful that I know of then the human brain. The potential for humans to do destructive things is great but so is the potential to do incredibly positive things. I mourn that lost potential.

Partnerships with major Chinese companies now introduces new counterparty risk if that relationship can be leveraged as a back door. Interesting to see how that effects large U.S. Companies working in China. Long term, this can't be good for the country.
A few things in my opinion that slowed down Haxe:

- Language barrier (Since Haxe docs are first and foremost handled by europeans like me, I know English natives always find it a bit ghetto when they feel the writer isn't a native, but there is very little we can do about it)

- It's not as easy to use as it seems, though OpenFL made it a bit easier.

- Backward compatibility breaks between versions, I'm sorry but a language designer should never do that. I know it's tough to get things right on the first iteration,but v2 libs not working in v3 can slow down a language adoption. We've seen this countless times. It only piss off early adopters.

- Maybe too focused on Flash at first ( But the C++ and JS targets work quite well, in fact, both Android and IOS targets use C++ ).

- written in OCAML... makes it more difficult for people to contribute to the core.

I'd say wait a few more years until the stuff is mature.

EDIT: if you are writing a game it is a no brainer. Your app will run in the browser with JS, Flash and natively on Ios and Android with a single codebase and very very little tweaking.
Have you looked at any of the files under the N5's /vendor/firmware directory? Specifically, I believe the .bXX and .mdt files are modules that can be runtime-loaded into the secure element. .b00 and .mdt always seem to be some ELF wrapped file. They look to contain X.509 certificates so I'm guessing you can't just ask qseecom to load arbitrary files... without an exploit in the TZ. ;-) /vendor/firmware/discretix/dxhdcp2.b02 is interesting because it has many strings in plaintext and other bytes that seem to disassemble to valid Thumb-2 code. Is TZ code all Thumb or can you mix Thumb and ARM like in regular context?
I bet the response from a lot of mainstream American leftists will be: whatever the union does is fine, because by definition unions are supposed to support their members.
As a web developer, I feel external links opening in the same tab / window take the user away from my site (or the site I'm building) so I generally always force external links to open a new tab. The goal is always I think, to keep people on your site as long as possible. Opening an external link in the same tab stops that - maybe from the external link they find something else they want to read / do and don't come back? That would suck.

As an internet user - I'll generally force a link (command click) that might look external to open in a new tab so I can come back to reading what I was reading without having to reload the page.

This is an interesting map of population density in the UK (from 2011): http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/interactive/census-map-2-1---pop-d...)

A quick search didn't turn up anything with a decent resolution that covered Europe/the rest of the world at the same time (seemed mainly to be on a per-country basis).
The majority of the immigrants are not exactly in a position to buy houses, they might cause some rent inflation but you can't categorically tie immigration to house price inflation like that.

The better explanation is that real estate is just about the only thing that can boundlessly go up in price without any perceived increase in quality or performance and so it tends to be a sink for surplus wealth generated by a nation. On top of that there are a lot of wealthy people competing with each other for investing in the UK real estate market (and those are not just UK residents) and interest rates are at an historic low which tends to drive up prices.
100% true. I wouldn't even consider it without this.

>I mean, this is still early-iPod-days of this tech.

Well, people have been touting VR since the early nineties. When is this "late version" gonna come out?
No it's because it's useless. "Oh this is terrible" - well great, propose some solutions?

In the case of Cecil the Lion it's "stop shooting endangered species you stupid rich Americans" - it highlights the very real poaching problem which is destroying large wildlife in Africa, and which costs actual human lives to (something like 5000 park rangers have been murdered by poachers over the last 10 years).

Fix Zimbabwe's government? Well we tried that in Afgahnistan and Iraq and it didn't work. And we certainly have been trying things in Africa - I have an uncle who was there for years as part of the various support and aid missions the UK run in commonwealth countries which fund things like schools.

One of these problems we could not have our own citizens fall ass-backwards into making it worse (and have some scope to actually prevent). The other we're working on but feeling "the full force of the tragedy" every day is wildly unproductive.
SEEKING WORK - Remote/New York, NY

My partner and I design and build mobile apps for early-stage companies. Most recently we've helped a number of companies build out their video recording, editing, and sharing platforms. If you need help building compelling and efficient mobile applications, or have any questions about mobile video, shoot me an email at: james@gradient.nyc.

Some past work of ours includes:

* Reveal (http://reveal.me/): We worked with Reveal to improve their video quality 3x while simultaneously reducing the amount of time their users have to wait for videos to begin playing. (http://reveal.me (http://reveal.me/))
* SNBL (http://snowball.is/): My partner developed Snowball's iOS application and backend, including a system for reordering server-side playlists on the fly, removing the processing burden from the user's device and moving it to the cloud. (http://samk.name/work#snbl)
* Romotive (http://www.romotive.com/): I was Romotive's lead engineer and led development for our initial iOS and Android applications, including our realtime two-way H264 audio/video streaming libraries. (http://www.romotive.com/)

We're based in NYC, but work with partners around the world.

I suspect that those that cry on the death of lion are pretty much opposed to caging them (in anything smaller that a national park) as well.
I'll never forget our tour guide in Zimbabwe saying his last paycheck before dollarization was 4 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars. For a tour guide. So yeah, they might have bigger problems than Cecil the Lion.

Hahaha @ Logo Turtle... that brought back memories long since suppressed/forgotten from back in primary school
I just wonder why people care about this one specific lion. Cause it had a nickname and was "famous"? No one cares about animals being killed on mass so we can eat them, i know i don't, but oh no, a lion is killed, they are running out of those in Zimbabwe. Is it because it had a dramatic story line? Everyone will forget about this "massive tragedy" in a few weeks anyway.

It seems clear China among others, has successfully decoupled democracy from capitalism. It has proven the two don't necessarily go hand in hand.

Well have to see how things play out, but it does not seem very promising. On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see which system can provide a better life for its population. It's not a given democratic capitalism is the only or best solution. Perhaps a different mix will win out.
> their president had a baby elephant slaughtered for his birthday.

This really highlights asymmetric power relations in the issue:

It's easy to gang up online against a wealthy, white, male dentist. Mobbing Zimbabwe's president, on the other hand...
> It is amazing how everyone can jump on this wave of political bandwagon, including the government in Zimbabwe

The government isn't, really. They're issuing a temporary moratorium until the media attention dies down. They don't actually care; they're just playing the media.

In other words, they're doing the cynical thing to get the media off their backs until the story blows over, and then it'll be business as usual again (and like any other tempest in a teapot, nobody's going to care anymore by the end of August).
The licenses are now days almost always the exact same: you have no rights beyond what the law in your country explicitly gives you and which can't be removed by the contract.

Heck, he event gave CONCRETE suggestions of things that need improvement.

So, no, this is the very opposite of "contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian".

Etsy is a mess. They do pretty interesting engineering work but I have to wonder about some of the business decisions they have made.

I don't think that Etsy has done nearly enough to support their sellers. This isn't a new development either. They need to take a good long hard look at seller tools, and what they have really done to the seller community.

- Removal of buyer feedback (there are bad buyers out there) EDIT: Etsy removed the ability for SELLERS to leave feedback on BUYERS

- Poor customer service, I have a list of folks who "etsy trust and safety has wronged"

- Draconian forum policies. Have a legitimate complaint about etsy, well you can't have a civilized rational conversation on their forum system.

- Start a conversation that is "negative" about etsy in a public forum elsewhere, if they figure out who you are they WILL close your shop.

- Their new shipping calculator? It looks to have some markup in it. Who's getting this money? Who is really paying for it (buyers or sellers)?

- Etsy has a reputation of being "hand made" a lot of that "hand made" is by small children in china now.

Every day etsy looks more and more like a more modern and feminine ebay, but with none of the upside for sellers. Amazon is moving into handmade, and eBay is one redesign away from being a bit more consumer friendly (again). Really how long can they last?
