If you want to have your data yourself, self-hosted mail system is a way to go.

In terms of privacy, the experience is good. I must warn, though, it's quite unpleasant in terms of dancing pigs and bunnies[1]. You won't get anything fancy. The age of protocol development had passed long ago and mail protocols (IMAP) aren't evolving anymore. Almost all the modern stuff is proprietary to services and their APIs and clients.

This limitation doesn't apply to mail filtering and automated parsing, though. Mail filters and processing for self-hosted email is way more powerful one can normally get with third-party services.

Did you ever watch Cosmos with Carl Sagan? Because I am fairly sure that in one episode he covered googol (and googolplex).
Yes. Sunday mornings on my local AM oldies station is a Beatles program, featuring songs, old interviews and factoids. Probably lots of stations around the country carry it or similar.

Do the thought experiment. Will there ever be a Sunday Vanilla Ice program forty years after Vanilla Ice was current? I really doubt it.

SEEKING WORK, REMOTE / freelance

Previous job: Engineer in New York for x.ai, the AI robot that schedules meetings via email.

I work with HTML5, JavaScript and CSS on the frontend; compiled from Hogan/Handlebars, CoffeeScript and LESS/SASS with Backbone as the logic handler. For the backend I primarily use Node.js again either built with JavaScript or CoffeeScript. I have also worked with PHP and Django. Components are installed with Npm and Bower, then compiled and minified via Grunt.
I have web experience in many areas dating back to 1996. I also maintain some web applications: Gignal (http://www.gignal.com) with Parse as backend; Konfect (http://www.konfect.com) with Neo4j as database;
I have used MySQL since 1998, but primarily uses MongoDB and Redis now.

Let's say a country wants to pass stronger environmental protections, shorter copyright terms, or some other legislation which would conflict with the TPP. How would they do that? Does the treaty need to be renewed every so often at which point those items can be re-negotiated? Or does this essentially lock in certain legislation such that it can't be changed in the future?
You're massivley underestimating the impact that open sourcing would have because you're assuming that these software quality metrics whose utility is substantiated with correlative evidence will have any causal significance post-open-sourcing regime.

If you tell companies they have to open source, you can be sure they'll be MISRA-C compliant. That doesn't mean their code is any less shit. Things like MISRA-C are useful in large part because where they are violated, you can be sure there was sloppy engineering. Giving people incentives to game standards whose claim to significance is largely correlative only guarantees that those standards become meaningless. In order for open sourcing to be useful, you need to analyze the code against some form of specification that concisely captures what that code is supposed to be doing, not just the absence of certain low-level errors or coding patterns highly indicative of certain low-level errors.

> And no they don't have to reveal the source to the OS, that's a strawman.

Why? A major bug in the OS would almost certainly make it impossible to provide any guarantees about the behavior of the ECU. And that OS is probably used in a lot of other safety-critical settings.

Sorry, but I still completely fail to see how your position isn't simply "primarily software companies deserve IP protections / primarily car companies don't".

> Disambiguating claims of company secrets, from the reality of coverups, is the whole point.

You're massively underestimating that amount of money car companies invest in both R&D and in engineering of software (Hell, car companies definitely spend more on CS R&D than the average software company, even if you restrict that to software companies working in safety-critical industries). This flippant attitude toward million/billlion dollar software investments based upon what companies happened to write that software is not going to fly outside of tech bubbles.

> "Monitoring stock levels is hardly all you need to manage an economy."

I didn't say it was, what I did say is that you lose no 'sales' information from removing money from the process of transferring goods from the manufacturer to the consumer. In other words, removing money doesn't make managing an economy harder.

> "You need to consider innovation, the creation of the very same information agents in an economy use to decide the actions they take. This is the entrepreneurial function. If production is ruled by coercion of a central planner, you eliminate that, and then what incentive is there for anyone to produce?"

Innovation can happen faster without the overhead of competition. What you want to encourage instead is collaboration. Innovation does not have to be a top down affair if you remove money from the economy.

Whilst it's not a perfect example, consider the development methodology of open source. Whilst there are problems with the open source approach, I'd argue that shortage of innovation is not one of those problems.
Maybe that's where it started, but the exact quote is from a totally different place. Think deserts and religious extremism.
> they need to figure out how to fundamentally improve the ease of use of the whole thing

I've frequently heard this theory, that Twitter's problem is that it's too complicated. I don't buy it. It has a simpler UI than Facebook or Snapchat, and it's not significantly more complicated than Instagram or Vine or Periscope or any other media sharing platform.

If you personally enjoy Twitter and derive value from it, it's easy to believe that people who don't get into Twitter just don't understand it it. My experience is that many people sign up, send their first tweet, and then say, "OK, I get it, and I have no use for this." I've helped my friends follow news sources and celebrities they like, but then they look at the wall of Tweets and say, "OK, I get it, but I don't want to read things in this format." It's not about ease-of-use for them, it's about the basic value proposition of tweeting and the Twitter feed.

I use a standing desk, and hence require a separate keyboard to go with my laptop for proper head & wrist position. I've been searching for a wireless thinkpad keyboard which is a replica of the T series keyboard (with touchpad & dedicated mouse buttons). It seems not many people ask for it and hence they don't make it. I've tried logitech & Microsoft's wireless keyboards, they aren't that much fun to use. Posting it here, in case some keyboard enthusiast has a recommendation I could try.
I've disabled adblock on some sites, that are really useful to me, like TV series calendar and donated to some sites that I read often, I bought indie games I liked, but I'm not going to pay to some random blog I accidentally landed from some random link once and never came back again.

Proposed micro transaction model won't make me pay for it anyway. Why someone feels entitled to my money, just because they facerolled their keyboard for a half an hour? Sometimes it feels like authors should actually pay me for reading/installing that pile of garbage they call "content".

For every Slack or Google that reaches mainstream adoption, there are a hundred smaller, often amazing companies, who don't.

Rather than rolling the dice on an all-or-nothing SAAS strategy that requires a big hit to get people to feel comfortable committing a whole organization, you can sell something people can buy, install, and own.

It doesn't mean you can't offer the freemium hosted option. What it does do is give you a chance to see organic growth in the early days. With subscription-based support services, you can even book more revenue — just the kind of thing a startup needs when they're looking for traction in the bootstrapped / angel funded days.

It's an interesting idea, and a great technology. There's no doubt that a blockchain will form the basis of many interesting new methods for validating transactions. But whether it's the blockchain, and whether it has anything at all to do with Bitcoin, seems like a very different question.

The article explores uses, but brings it back to the same "Bitcoin is the future!" tone that stops people from considering the ideas at hand, if their politics disagree with the implementation.
And N1 has some easy way of integrating with a locally hosted sync engine, spawning it at N1 startup, and shutting it down at N1 tear down?

That's why I advocate for selling software in addition to offering it as a freemium hosted platform. It's a lot easier to make the decision to use something you own than to commit an entire organization to a hosted solution that may not exist in a couple years, or may change to the point that it's no longer useful.

What worries me is the lack of updates for OpenBSD. Is those issues he's talking about are for real? I run "pkg_add -u" frequently and I don't see any updates. I'm running "stable 5.7". I understand that OpenBSD doesn't provide updates or bugfixes after release, but security updates should be pushed.

I'm casual OpenBSD user and may be I don't understand something.
Your argument isn't really wrong as far as it goes, but it doesn't explain why it matters whether Monty deliberately opens a door without a car or picks randomly and just happened to open a car-less door this time.

Why do you want a touchpad as part of your keyboard? Why does it need to be wireless?

A better alternative is to get a mechanical tenkeyless keyboard and a mouse or a 60% keyboard if that's still too big. Learn keyboard shortcuts so you can reduce your reliance on mice.
Under this 'definition' of sharing, the only requirement seems to be for the goods transferred to be in a 'closed' system. If someone were ever to create a service that traded 'ride credits' with 'food credits', would it no longer be a sharing model? Couldn't we frame the entire world economy, based off of currency as a 'sharing model'?

While I do think sharing models require some kind of 'inclusiveness' to make them viable, I think we must take into account the distribution of goods/resources, and the power relationships that evolve from providing these services. The only way (or at least the only way I can think of off the top of my head) to keep these in check is to allow everyone participating in the system to have a say in how the system operates. Something akin to a co-operative rather than a shareholder driven corporation.
Suppose the app was smart enough to do some clever analysis.

For example, if all the people who leave bad reviews of Bob are all friends with each other, it should count as a single bad review (so as to not double-count the evidence), and if Alice left bad reviews of several of your friends, it should know that you will probably find Alice untrustworthy, because she dislikes the people you like.

Not that we can trust Peeple or any other app to get that right, but it sounds like it should be possible.
I like the concept and some attributes of it. Some good ideas might come out of those projects. The thing I can't overemphasize here, though, is that this kind of application might be attacked or just fail in many ways. So, whatever people do, they need to keep the main functionality simple for human and/or machine analysis. Python helps with readable logic but obscures how it's actually implemented (attacker's focus). A similar project in Go might be a better idea as it's easier to see what assembler comes out of it and Go is often the replacement for Python in server apps.

Regardless, the main worry areas are parsing, protocol handling, formats, and limiting effects of any given external action on system's state. Making sure those are correct should knock out most issues. Not that it will be simple or easy. ;)
It's hard for me to get that from what you wrote. It seemed that your point was more that the existence of Twitter means it's easy to reproduce it, but before Twitter, it was difficult to envision a site like Twitter.

My counterpoint is that it's not actually the idea that's interesting, it's the fact that they've convinced lots of people to use it, and have built a system powerful enough to support that scale.

I'd like both. #1 adds some levity and humour; #2 gives me the technical details.

Perhaps if it was personal, like pointing out that I consistently do terrible work and really am not cut out to be a dev, then yeah that might hurt. Though more because the intent is that I shouldn't contribute, full stop, not just improve my work.

Though I suppose it's because there aren't any impersonal insults that'd bother me. Whereas being a member of another group that gets sincere bigotry aimed at it - yeah that might be incredibly frustrating. No one believes Linus wants to actually travel through time and perform abortions, nor would it make anyone think to do such a thing. But a "this proves women should really avoid engineering and stick to cooking" is something that many people actually believe and reinforces that thinking.

Edit: Though it'd need to be clear that this is the environment, that such strong feedback is not personal. If this was just delivered to some new hire with no warning, then it might come off the wrong way.
Given that this was whole-genome sequencing, is 1700 mutations higher than other tissues? The paper doesn't appear to say that.

If they were claiming that this were an unusually high mutation rate, I'd wonder why everyone doesn't die of brain cancer. If other tissue had N mutations per genome, and cancer typically takes 10 mutations to create, in the absence of compensatory mechanisms, the ratio of brain cancer to other cancers should be about (1700 choose 10) / 50 * (N choose 10). If N were, say, 100, that number would be so large that not one person would ever had developed any cancer other than brain cancer.

I don't use immutable structures for speed (they're often slower), I use them because they can eliminate entire classes of bugs.
True that.

This conforms with my understanding as to why Clojure is slowish. That being said, I don't really understand why Haskell is seen as fast and Clojure is seen as slow (I am ignoring JVM warm-up times here).

And my point is that state governments don't have a choice about whether to agree to court proceedings over racial discrimination if they sign agreements accepting federal money.

I mean yes - this is pretty clear. If a government chooses to allow oversight by courts, they can't choose who sues them. Why single out laws about free trade, as opposed to laws relating to environmental protection or racial discrimination?
