> Who is using Joyent?

Folks for whom a business relationship with Amazon is not possible because of competitive reasons, for one. Regulatory compliance is another.

There're also some big names using Joyent (one of whom is a Fortune 1 company last I heard…) whose policies endorsing third parties are too restrictive to allow their trademarks to be used there.
Is a very good tennis player a genius? Some things simply can be trained and while extremely impressive, they have nothing to do with intelligence.

So far it does not appear to be possible to increase intelligence via training. You can increase some proxies for intelligence that way, for example memorization, or puzzle solving.

True intelligence is very hard to define, but I define it as the capacity to reason in a non-linear way. i.e. to reach a conclusion without any obvious steps that took you from a to b.

So, are Oracle still developing their ZFS separately, or they switched to OpenZFS?
Yeah, charging for a bypass around the ad blocker always struck me as verging on extortion.
I'm pretty impressed how fast Atom has evolved in every way, be it performance or plugin system (I was skeptical last year). Its pretty powerful no doubt, but what's really cool about Atom is how quickly you can get started with it. I recently started learning Haskell. Typically I live in Vim, but I was feeling lazy to set up all goodness, so I just randomly started Atom and installed Haskell plugin. And it was so quick and so nice! Auto-completion, linter, type hints all working out of the box. And if you don't like something, like in my case start auto-complete as soon as I type, you could simply disable it from settings.

I don't know if I will leave Vim for Atom, but its certainly a great tool. If some newbie asks my opinion on what editor/ide to use, I will be inclined to say Atom as its so easy to get started with.

Why 18 years? You can harvest fertile gametes much earlier than that in an ordinary person. And with some unethical drugs you can reduce that age even more.

Just watch out you don't end up selecting for early maturation :)

> Everything I'm reading is saying the genes for IQ, as with most traits, are additive. And it really is as easy as putting as many high-IQ-associated genes into one genome as possible.

High IQ's come with large tradeoffs. Foremost among them is a much higher rate of depression. Second among them is a reduction in socialization.
Swipe Right or Left on Tinder/Match and Square IPOs?
I think there's some very good content here, but using "self-abuse" instead of "negative self-talk" (the more standard therapy term) is an unhelpful distraction in my reading.
The open web is essentially open because anybody with a computer can create and access content online. The cost to entry is almost nil, be it a big corporation or a small startup or any individual.

With Facebook's Internet.org or the "Free Basics" they would be the gatekeepers of defining what the free basic are. It creates a sort of economic divide - why would people people pay to access your site, when a similar big player is providing services on the Facebook's free basic plan?
Is there any honest, legitimate way to do the "acceptable ads" thing? I agree that having the adblocker creator charge for entry is ethically dubious, but I actually want to see non-invasive ads; I believe that conscientious advertising is actually the most benevolent way for the typical website to fund itself,* and I want to encourage that sort of good behavior. At the moment, though, I pretty much have to build the "good advertiser" list myself, and that's not really practical or scalable. Is there any way to incentivize a global "acceptable ads" list that isn't super sketchy?

*Subscriptions are exclusionary, donations often aren't enough, merchandising isn't practical for many sites, sponsored content and advertorials are obviously reprehensible...am I missing anything?
Daesh is like the the hindi word for "country" written in english.

> I think a 5 year old with no preconceived notions of a user interface is probably the best validation of whether a device is "usable."

But Western 5-year-olds have already had 5 years to watch their parents use contemporary technology. I'm not sure there's such thing as a "blank slate" here. And I doubt the average 5-year-old from a rural town in a third-world country is going to pick up an iPhone as easily as an American one. You're picking like 1% of the world population and making them the benchmark for universal design. I suppose the ultimate end to this line of reasoning is that there is no such thing as perfectly universal design, and I'm OK with that.

> I have actually never even heard of a single person picking up and iPhone and saying "I can't figure this out - it's unusable!" until your post.

When did I say that? You might have me confused with the GP poster.

> Perhaps you feel Apple should have designed a beautiful rotary phone?

Why not? Many 5-year-olds probably could use rotary phones just fine back in the day. Maybe Apple doesn't actually have a monopoly on making it possible for 5-year-olds to use technology.
Read carefully. The samples are NOT de-identified in the CDPH storage bank itself. They are de-identified only when sold to third-parties: "Besides being sold - in purportedly de-identified form - to third parties [...]" This means the CDPH and law enforcement have access to fully identifiable DNA samples.

Another element implying that DNA samples are identifiable is the existence of this form https://www.cdph.ca.gov/pubsforms/forms/CtrldForms/cdph4410.... linked from the article to request their destruction. If the samples were not identifiable, then the CDHP would not know which sample to destroy...
This topic seems less about power and more about invariants. I could imagine a powerful, fully expressive language that does a better job of explicitly stating its invariants.

In the `urlpatterns` example,

urlpatterns = [
url([m('kitten/'), views.list_kittens, name='kittens_list_kittens'),
url([m('kitten/'), c(int)], views.show_kitten, name="kittens_show_kitten"),
]

I could see `m` and `c` being used as a more-specific-than-regex DSL specifically for routes. Reversing routes would be even easier because of the inherent limitations of using the DSL - you have to pass a string to `m`, you have to pass a type (and a variable, ideally, so it would be `m('kitten/'), c("id", int)` or just `m('kitten/'), id()`.

The lesson I gain is "figure out the implicit invariants from your design decisions, make them explicit and try to keep as many of them as possible, only letting go once you have no other choice."

Yes. Internet.org will hand facebook enormous power that would threaten open competition on the public internet, not just on internet.org.

Participation on internet.org is subject to approval by Facebook and ISPs. They choose the winners on their platform, not end users.

Imagine a world where, say, 20% of users are on internet.org. If you're building a consumer service that benefits from network effects, you must be on internet.org or else you will be eaten up by a competitor who is. Facebook, through its veto over internet.org participation, can now play an outsize role in deciding which consumer internet services get traction and which don’t.

App developers will divert resources from building features that users want, into building features that gets them perks from Facebook — probably by pushing more and more user data into the “open” graph. This would not just harm internet.org consumers, it will harm every internet user.
This article is written from the point of view of a tech savvy but it's completely missing empathy. IMHO It completely misses the point. The idea of internet.org as I understand it is not to allow everyone, everywhere to see cat videos. But rather to show people the value of connectivity.

Most people that are not connected do not see a value on it. They think it won't help them in any way in their lives, that's a rich kid thing. The idea of the project I believe is to provide a free taste of limited functionality, to open that door to new opportunities. Then decide whether the value is worth it or not, and purchase an internet plan as his/her requirements dictate. It's a sort of "internet" literacy that wants to be spread. Feel free to actually check what the internet.org package offers, and imagine how it can help someone appreciate the value of being connected.

Right now due to lack of knowledge people without any access to internet have no idea how their crippling their own future, and their children's future. I believe the idea of internet.org is to provide some sort of basic free services that may help people decide whether full internet connectivity is for them or not, and try to change the "that's a thing only for rich/tech/lazy/young people" mentality that may prevail in rural areas for example.

In full disclosure I worked for fb for 1.5 years and haven't worked for them for half a year. These are my personal opinions .

That's not "the Internet" as it is known, but another kind of service. They wouldn't have internet. They'd have something else that could easily be (and probably will be) designed to placate the desire to have internet.

Internet access is essential. But providing a limited number of sites for free and the rest as paid creates unequal opportunity on an otherwise level playing field.

There are other ways to provide internet connectivity to people - by allowing them to access the entire internet and not limited websites. The Mozilla Foundation runs a program with Grameenphone, where users get free data in exchange for watching an advertisement. It also runs a program with Orange in Africa, where those who purchase a $37 handset get 500 MB of free data.
How do you capture 360x180 stereoscopic video?
Again: how is that worse than having nothing?

And if the argument assumes that they'll eventually have the ability to get full internet, but won't want it at whatever price it costs, then isn't that their choice? If having a free service makes them unwilling to pay for a better service, what's the problem?

There's no options being denied here. For anyone that wants, Facebook's offering has only benefits. If someone thinks it has drawbacks, they're free not to use it. I seriously don't see the problem here.
Because you'll only have meaningful dialogue with someone when you use neutral language. If you were trying to convince an Islamic State zealot about faults in their reasoning they would close off their mind immediately when you use language like that.

Flippantly dismissing the Islamic State as an illogical death cult that just wants to rape and torture ignores their true aspirations and the legitimacy they draw from Islamic scripture.[1] To fight an ideology, you have to make an effort to understand it.

You didn't answer the question. How is having access to fb worse for users than having access to nothing at all? If Grameenphone is so awesome, why aren't these users using it?
After reading the article, I feel like the Acceptable Ads program is a little more complicated than the "extortion" some are calling it. The tiered scheme where "small websites" can apply for free and only "larger properties" pay seems like it could be a reasonable way of dealing with the financial overhead of maintaining the list if it's run fairly and transparently; that transparency seems to be lacking at the moment, but that may be changing soon ("We’re inviting a completely independent review board to take over, enforce and oversee our Acceptable Ads initiative").

Fun read, but alas factually inaccurate. Article says: "almost all European languages belong to one family – Indo-European – and of all of them, English is the only one that doesn’t assign genders that way."

1. There're quite a few languages in Europe that do not belong to Indo-European: Basque, Estonian, Finnish, Georgian, Hungarian, Turkish...

2. It is not true that English is the only Indo-European language the nouns of which don't have gender. Armenian for instance, does not and there are probably others.
While channels definitely aren't anything new, and are just a renamed locking queue structure, why do you say they're "a really bad implementation"?
Saying "you could have done X, which would help people more than what you're doing now" isn't a condemnation, as people seem to be condemning Facebook for this. The whole thing is reminding me of http://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-ethi...

"Keynesian economics optimizes for production and growth over efficiency and sustainability."

This sounds made up. How is optimized production different from efficiency? How is growth unsustainable? An economy without growth is by definition zero-sum; is that what is sustainable, no more Pareto efficiency, that someone must lose for another to gain?

"If you want loads of shiny new gadgets every year, and want it so most people spend their entire lives working just to pay rent and only a lucky few escape with "fuck you" money, then it's the system for you.
If you want the average person to have the economic freedom to work less, and actually get time to enjoy their discretionary purchases, then debt-based slavedriving is not what you "

Keynesianism has nothing to do with private debt or private spending habits, nor weekly work hours. You can blame many for such problems, I don't know why Keynes would have anything to do with this.

"Deflation isn't scary, only the transition to it is (like any change). Deflation is actually the natural tendency, as doing things cheaper is precisely what market competition is based on (see: the entire technology sector)."

That's not deflation.

Deflation is when the entire broad based market across products and services lowers their prices for the same products and services. It in practice causes depressions very similar (and deeper) than what we just experienced.

The tech sector lowers prices in a specfic sector by using new technology. By definition this is about classic creative destruction and reallocating of resources.

Deflation is what happens when there is not enough demand for the supply, and therefore everyone stops spending money, people lose their jobs. Interest rates fall to 0, and prices fall across the board. In other words, very close to what happened in 2008-2009.

Deflation was something that theoretically shouldn't happen by classical models until Keynes showed it does, and we saw it in earnest in Japan during the 90s.
Separately. However their changes and OpenZFS changes are now effectively incompatible.

Funnily enough is that OpenZFS is now the more advanced filesystem minus the clustering features Oracle integrated (shared disk clustering that is, not shared-nothing).
Some of the best programmers I know avoid open source. Partly because of the drama. But mostly because if you spend you days working on "qualified" things (business systems, simulation, robotics etc) in a demanding environment with, at least help from, highly educated people it's just not that fun to patch JavaScript frameworks on GitHub with the "just fork it" crowd.

Not the parent but I thought I'd chip in.

When I get stuck using one of the Native APIs, I usually look in the source code. It usually becomes very clear which issues that might have occured. What I'm saying is; there's no need to read the full source code, just reading the relevant component/API adapter goes a long way.

I've been using Gyroscope since launch -- amazingly beautiful, and well-done service. Can't wait to use the new app (when is the Android release coming? =)). I really hope you guys keep iterating! It's one of my favorite services to share with people :D
In the React Native case specifically, I've found that searching github issues is often super helpful. The project is very popular, changing really really fast, and still has a bunch of rough edges. So if something really seems wonky (and isn't a bizarre use case), it's pretty common that someone has already brought it up there.

Reading the code is pretty much always a good idea, too.
It's like giving free soda to the thirsty so they don't seek out something healthier. There is no such thing as limited "internet". If it's limited, it's not the Internet.

A more noble implementation of the idea would provide low-bandwidth connectivity to any site (maybe with a browser that only loads text by default). The service could still deliver local ads to pay for the bandwidth.
Will they be able to develop their own local services?

Imagine if MySpace at its height could have killed off Facebook, Twitter, TenCent, and anything else which looked like competition.
Because it hurts all other nodes in the net that is already open. So those kinds of arrangements even if beneficial for the newly connected (which I doubt) hurts everyone else. And the people that are newly connected will approach the internet not with the hacker mindset, but the values of walled gardens and app stores. You only see what your overseer wants you to see.
If overpopulation really is a problem, is it not much easier to control population? It's probably much easier to convince someone to have at most two children, rather than to convince him/her to let scientists fiddle with their gametes so that their children are dwarves.
Not what the parent said, true, but you can test for this easily: launch the app, see if it terminates with exit code 173 (receipt check fail) in the first few seconds if fed SHA-2 receipt but not the old SHA-1 one. Won't catch all (apps may validate later during runtime), will catch enough to give you some idea about the scope.

The Polgár sister's story backs you in that:

"Polgár and her two older sisters, Grandmaster Susan and International Master Sofia, were part of an educational experiment carried out by their father László Polgár, in an attempt to prove that children could make exceptional achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age.[11] "Geniuses are made, not born," was László's thesis. He and his wife Klára educated their three daughters at home, with chess as the specialist subject."
