It's only partly about the clothes though. The brand and how they portray themselves is definitely "edgy" regardless of the reality reflected in the styling of their clothes. And that portrayal affects how people feel about the clothes.

I can't see why you would need to run your computer all the time. Why do you think this is necessary? You just turn on your computer and the sync service restarts where it left off. Just like Thunderbird, or any other MUA.

But I can see plenty of reasons the design was chosen. If you are bringing in lots of mail accounts, having it running as a daemon isn't necessarily a bad way to go. A sync program doesn't need to be associated with a tty, is better off run in the background in its own process, is arguably more extensible in design terms, doesn't necessarily take up any more memory than a regular executable, allows for multiple UIs (e.g. terminal program, Gtk+ GUI, WxWindows GUI), seperates processing from the UI, lots and lots of reasons.

Maybe the developers can step in here with a response?

You can make a UI to turn off the service or use the command prompt, if that's the concern.

If you can give me a valid technical reason running the sync part of the program as a daemon is bad, I'm definitely all ears though.

I personally believe being a hardass like a drill Sargeant is in a different league altogether than racism/sexism/homophobia.

You can be dead serious without being awful.

In fact I would argue that they are the exact opposite. Hardasses are someone you respect.
A few big projects written in C proves nothing about them or C. Need the larger picture with many instances to prove a claim. Certain, preventable vulnerabilities have occurred mostly in C software. Another commenter gave an example. Many of these similarly occurred in the C-lang projects you reference. So, using C instead of a language that prevents them was the first reason for their existence.

C being a plague still stands.
The "ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint" is the updated version of the OP's keyboard, with nice improvements such as the "big delete key" and slightly more modern build quality. Sold from ~2009 to ~2013.

https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd005137

I use one of these full time at my desk. All TrackPoint, no mouse or trackpad.

Lenovo is now unfortunately making only the "Compact" keyboard, with the same chiclet keys as new ThinpPads. But the one linked above is still widely available and comes very recommended.
A requirement of the SSL provider, it doesn't really do much to protect against heartbleed like vulnerabilities - just limits the time an attacker can use the key to 7 days.
I am using them for many months, works great for most of my projects, easy to maintain, easy to scale.

Love that they support Meteor natively, without a specific buildpack to install.
I have to say that for Facebook as well. When the IPFS picks up, we'll have a distributed clone of twitter and facebook that runs on such architecture.

There would be no desire or need for advertisement or money making or tracking people when there are no owners, no benefactors but the people using it.

The end is nigh for traditional SV unicorns that offer no barrier to entry in a distributed and anonymous internet.

"What are some free and credible sources?"

BBC News (bbc.co.uk/news) isn't really free to UK users but website vistors outside the UK don't pay (but they do get ads instead). Of course, the BBC's news coverage of the US is nowhere near as extensive as NYT. They don't cover the US arts/sports/food/tech scene etc. (It would be interesting to see the breakdown of subscribers to the NYT. Are they mainly US readers? Or are there international subscribers too?)

If you don't like the BBC, there's Al-Jazeera. I suspect many Americans distrust them, but I'm impressed by the scale of their international news coverage.

I'm guessing that most people check multiple news sources (even if you trust some sources less than others). Does anyone really rely on a single news provider nowadays?

Your grandpa's grandpa used a straight edge razor.
Yes, it is grotesque. A case of "Wow, we are doing it so wrong."

But, discussing it with one of my sons, he suggested that excercise probably reduces the suicidal tendencies by reducing how much the kid gets bullied. If you are fast enough to run away and not get caught or strong enough to punch them out, bullying incidences probably start subsiding. My sister was a geek in high school during a really rough tinme/at a rough school. She tutored a football player and soon realized she wasn't being hassled at school because she had a shadow who was ready and able to throw people down the stairs if they bothered her. Threat of physical force has long been a good deterrent to bullying.
This article is really trying to force through a conclusion based on some evidence that doesn't seem to hold up that well. Then the author challenges me (the reader) to question why I did not pick up on things like being mentioned as "beautiful" before highlighting career achievements.

Alright - I'll admit that I didn't think through these tropes when I read the book. I was too busy reading and enjoying the book. I can't help but wonder if the author's characters were slightly sexist. What if the characters were written this way on purpose? It's certainly a real problem in our society - why wouldn't it be reflected in a book. So am I to criticize the author for writing it or the character for thinking it? Or are we lumping it all into a general critique of the author's predispositions. I'm not sure I care to find out the answer. I also feel for the blog author's point of view because it's trying to combat a very real thing. I'm flustered.
Go to TI's website right now and look at their graphing calculators section. Seriously, this isn't a thought experiment. Go check it out:

https://education.ti.com/en/us/products#!product=graphing-ca...

They DO have vastly improved and modernized calculators. The Nspire line has fast processors, lots of storage, bright color screens, touch capability, greatly improved software, etc. They don't really even cost more than the "old school" TI graphing calculators. TI can really only be blamed for not dropping the price on their old models. It would be misleading to suggest that TI hasn't worked on more advanced calculators.

> I wonder what the point of the 140 character limit is today

2 things:

1) Nearly a decade's worth of technical infrastructure built around the assumption that tweets will only ever be 140 characters.

2) A vocal, but shrinking, group of users who are still using Twitter via SMS.
Costs are falling quite a bit less than normal. The tick from 32 nm Sandy Bridge to 22 nm Ivy Bridge went smoothly, as far as we can tell, but Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs have been going up, for example more and more masks are required for each new node, starting at 32 nm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_patterning

The next tick from Haswell at 22 nm to Broadwell at 14 nm did not go well. Seriously delayed due to low yields, per Wikipedia they're not doing low end desktops with it (perhaps due to NRE? Then again, these ought to be server chips with features cut out), and the Skylake microarchitecture on 14 nm has started coming out relatively quickly, cutting the normal lifetime Haswell should have had. The Cannonlake shrink to 10 nm has been delayed at least 2 years, with a Kaby Lake mid-life kicker at 14 nm breaking the tick-tock system they've used since 2007.

No doubt this is paying off in reduced power for the computrons for mobile and server systems, but costs, that's not doing hardly so well, and apparently breaking Moore's Law. Intel is supposed to be the best at this, and foundries like TMSC have also been having problems at various points as they shrink.

> You're not accomplishing what you want to accomplish with this

How do you know what it is that I want to accomplish? I will accomplish everything that I want to accomplish.

> You have the choice of not running apps. Get a feature phone.

Except that I do want to run and write my own software. With a feature phone I would have very little control over the operating system and other software, not to mention the baseband modem.

> You can create a fake account on Google

Do you suggest a Google account every task I undertake? One single fake Google account for everything I do would be pointless. Of course you've already made the assumption that I want to use Google services (which I don't).

> (or even better, get an Amazon fire phone, or some Chinese one that is based only on stock Android). Or just Ubuntu Phone/Cyanogen mod it

You continue to assume that I want to use an operating system designed to collect as much information as possible on me. Replicant would be a better choice than Cyanogenmod, however neither that nor Ubuntu Phone solve the closed hardware problem where the baseband modem is not isolated from the rest of the device.

> Based on the original N900 let me say it is going to be a much worse experience than your Average android phone, especially running Debian and having a resistive touchscreen.

That's your own opinion. I still use my N900 because there isn't a device that comes close to what it offers. As a Linux/Unix professional, I much prefer the experience over any Android phone. I run Debian natively which I can't do on any Android device. I much prefer the stylus precision of the resistive touchscreen than the fat-fingers capacitive mentality.

> And the phone company will still know your location

Not when you choose to switch off the modem they can't.
How hard would it be to create a backend for PostgreSQL?

I'm currently in doubt to move to either Mailpile or your platform on my personal server. However, PostgreSQL would be a big plus for your platform, since I don't have any experience with MySQL in recent years, and I rather do not run it on my VPS just for mail.

I'm not sure how that matters. The question is whether, in this scenario, you choose to switch after Monty Hall reveals the door. The terms of the thought experiment dictate that Monty Hall will reveal a losing door. Regardless of what force is actually causing the revealed door to be a losing door, you should switch, because you're essentially being given the option to take your original one door, or to take both of the other doors (at least one of which is a losing door).
The campaign in question was referenced in a book "Trust me I am laying" by Ryan Holiday and is an excellent read on media manipulation strategies.

Its fascinating to read how they never actually "ran" many of those ads, but the shock journalists had a field day and created a huge PR blitz for them on a few strategically placed sham ads on the file server.
> "Are you implying that a contract, legally entered into by a democratically elected government, should be able to be rescinded without need for compensation whenever the government or electorate feels like it?"

In answer to your question, not on the whim of a government, but in the case of the electorate, yes, whenever they feel like it.

We're not talking about a life or death situation here, we're talking about a company's profits vs. the will of the people. The population of a country should have the final say in what they want to do with their country, if a government makes a bad decision on their behalf that benefits companies over people that's their mistake. It's up to companies to decide if they want to risk profiting from these deals.

30k readers is quite low for an article of any decent quality site though. There are a billion+ people on the internet. For articles getting 30k or less reada probably shouldn't be montizig or won't be getting much. Unless you want the cost of the articld to be paid back in 24 hours. Which is kinda anti web isnt it? I can see it becoming very quickly where someone can paraphrase or mirror the content somewhere else for cheap.

I see any per article pay model as likely flawed anyways. Netflix and many others do well because flat rate. I'd hate if nytimes charged me per article. I'd likely go somewhere else

This may be very true and I think that if you're more familiar with the program and recognize that the host must know the answer then it becomes more a question of statistical intuition.

I'm confident that there are lots of people who still fail to make the connection (though we're getting to the point where I think people are failing less due to a lack of statistical intuition and more due to a symbolic/physical model mismatch issue), but I think this problem wouldn't be as renowned as it is if it weren't for all of the even expert statisticians who are getting fooled.

In their case it's definitely a matter of them misinterpreting the situation and the way that it's worded, for someone unfamiliar with the show, is at least a little "tricky".

The chain of reasoning is wonderfully put, but DOM manipulation was definitely a problem. When elements are inserted or removed from lists, you'd have to do a dance of many jQuery() steps. There is no concept of state, it is all tangled up in DOM values, and the most elegant solution was to use $.serialize() if it works in that context.

This mess was why people hated front-end programming. It has only been a year or two since Angular/React became mainstream and allowed us to think of state as plain JS objects. Lest we forget, it was truly bad times before.

They might be better served by doing the math, and realizing that they are far better off buying an economical vehicle at a much lower price point and for much lower maintenance and fuel costs, and then renting a heavy duty vehicle to tow their boat the few times a year they actually need to.

>You were lying about what the license says.

I was reporting what I was told by corporate lawyers. My own reading of the patent section does happen to side with the lawyers' reading: That if you distribute an app that's protected by a patent you own a license to, that you need to arrange a sublicense for all users of that software. Maybe not technically "impossible," but I didn't count "spending millions of dollars to fix the problem" among the likely corporate responses when I said "impossible." Especially when most GPLv3 code can be written from scratch for less than the cost to license patents.

Someone alleged Blizzard uses it; fine, their lawyers either disagree, weren't consulted, or are being ignored, but Blizzard doesn't make Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, so the point is moot if you care about web adoption, which would make the format relevant to anyone but a game developer.

What matters is what the lawyers for the big companies that control Chrome and IE won't let GPLv3 code into the code base. Many other big company lawyers take the same position (probably all companies above some size threshold), and that's all I've been alleging from the start. Criticize my delivery all you want, but that's what I was trying to say.

My agenda is to get the developers to change to a license that could actually be adopted into a web standard. Since you're refusing to actually read what I'm saying, I agree: Goodbye.
That is an opinion, not a fact.
The Ka'bah was (re-)built by Abraham and his son, who were Muslims (i.e. Submitters). The fact that there was polytheistic practices around it at some point in time does not change the fact that it is a place of worship for Muslims.
Those elected representatives held a public vote in which they decided to prevent themselves from making amendments. Sounds pretty democratic to me.

Well, immutable data-structures use "structural sharing", internally. Search for it. For example, this image, [1], shows two data-structures (the green nodes), that internally share many nodes. Now, comparing those two structures can be done efficiently, because the shared parts don't need comparing.

That's a fair argument. In that case, they should provide an MTA you can plop down on a virtual machine that'll store your emails for you and they interface with using JMAP [1].

[1] http://jmap.io/

"JMAP is a transport-agnostic, stateless JSON-based API for synchronising a mail client with a mail server. It is intended as a replacement for IMAP. The specification is based on the API currently used by FastMail’s web app. It aims to be compatible with the IMAP data model, so that it can be easily implemented on a server that currently supports IMAP, but also allows for reduced data usage and more efficient synchronisation, bundling of requests for latency mitigation and is generally much easier to work with than IMAP."
