"If you are truely outraged (which should occur only when you have personal knowledge a wrong took place)"

Disagree completely. Public outrage at non-personal wrongs is very important for the wrongs to eventually be remedied. It's a good thing. Without this, wrongs can be committed and as long as the numbers are fairly low and the people powerless enough, no one does anything about it.

That aside, people generally get too outraged at things they shouldn't and not outraged enough at things they should.
One way to mitigate this attack is to have different entry IPs to exit IPs - which is being done by Mullvad.

I disagree with the approach heartily.

It's hard to think big picture when you yourself feel or have been spurned. Even lawyers hire lawyers.

This is a public post the whole world can read. It's now publicly exposed to thousands of readers. Most of which don't know him and are now getting a first impression.

This doesn't put him in a position to gain anything. Even if his critique of udemy went viral and was taken in the most positive way, his reputation as a programmer and video content producer is damaged since he's seen as a spurned advocate.

This is why Europa is so stoked on the "right to be forgotten".

So many times we see a person who has dreams, but their temporary disagreement and power struggle personally ends up damaging their reputation. They are cast aside as trouble makers, and when it comes down to the decision of whether you want to work with someone, people's biases will tend to pick someone who won't potentially cause a stir.

Their "15 minutes of fame" deafens future attempts at them building their identity and reputation in the field they want.

> In practice, you can dilute glycemic index using fat and protein in addition to water.

And people really don't understand this. For instance, you basically can't find full-fat yogurt in an American grocery store. Instead there's 20 kinds of non-fat yogurt packed with sugar, which have a much higher glycemic load than yogurt with the same amount of sugar and fat would. But they're all advertised as being healthy because they're non-fat. It's crazy.

When I reluctantly got a smartphone (I wanted interent for new flat, and it was the same price with or with a phone and data bundle as interent alone), I never expected to pay for any apps, especially not whatsapp. I had 500 free texts, and didn't see what the whole fuss over whatsapp was about. A few months later I had a conversation with my mum (who is in a diffrent country) and ten texts had cost me 8 euros (a few of which were yes / no replies). After that I was happy to pay for whatsapp.

You're way off base. The author is free to do as he pleases and it's none of your business to tell him to retract his article. Anonymous cowards aplenty on the internet, anonymous cowards dictating what can and can not be discussed and what should be retracted is a bit much don't you think?

I got a pretty positive first impression of the author, he's capable, he outlined his griefs, did so after actually spending considerable time to use the product, is balanced because he sees both the good and the bad.

If I were in Udemy's shoes I'd love to receive feedback like this and I'd do what I could to address his very reasonable points.

Oh, and this is not why Europe has a 'right to be forgotten'.

Everything you've written actually applies to your own comments here, but since your anonymous you don't care about that either way but I though that was kind of funny.

Stolen property is always tainted. There was an example in the news last year illustrating this -- a 1960s classic car stolen was returned to its owner after 50 years and multiple resales.

If Udemy is turning a blind eye, they are no different from a pawn shop fencing stolen goods.
That's probably a mater of perspective, you and a lot of people seems to be building a REST API splitting functionality into independent services, and is great and a good thing, but it means the architecture needs to have complexity and failures in the right mind/context.

It's not right to bring just twisted to the discussion, I can give you tornado as completely the opposite, it's beautiful and simple and plays great with the multi-process libraries and asyncio, Python 3, etc.

The concurrency models are just different and it's probably nothing wrong with that, single threaded processing using coroutines inside and talking with other processes by message passing using zmq and not rabbit could be monitored with supervisor another great python tool... they are just different tools for different jobs that in fact work in team better that for each own, Python + Erlang.

My point is that is like comparing a mango with a sunfruit, and again there's nothing wrong with the erlang syntax.

Btw I know rabbit it's build on Erlang but again I think it's not a good Erlang example, you could used cowboy as a better OTP builded Erlang application, and again just a mater of perspective.

One may suspect that some Celeron/Pentium/i3 SKUs support ECC just so that Intel doesn't have to manage low-volume very-low-end E3 SKUs. And then you run into the fact that the cheapest server motherboard is double the price of a cheap desktop one.
I don't believe the Core i3's have ECC support. See [1]. My understanding is that the i3's (and i5's and i7's) differ from Xeons in that the do not have ECC support.

So maintaining the 'justice system' is an ends in itself? Why should I care whether or not the government has a particular department? Your argument seems to presume that the 'justice system' is good, or that it needs to be kept around for some other reason.
> It’s a price of doing business.

> But I had never seen a business actually profiting from piracy.

The author acknowledges that piracy is "normal", but is drawing the line at directly profiting. YouTube and Napster didn't charge consumers for pirated content.

> I guess "move fast and break things" is a great motto until it's your stuff getting broken.

I hate "move fast break things" but this critique doesn't make any sense, hasn't this aphorism always been about breaking your own stuff and how that's okay as long as you're moving fast?

Doesn't Udemy lose safe haven when they start taking a cut?
The great majority of that came from 2 backers, who also received these services:

- I will do a case study on your app and it will be featured on the project's website.
- 1 hour remote consulting session to help you get unstuck with the project.
- E-mail support within reason.
- Both screencast series.
- A PDF cheatsheet of all of the tasks and deploy commands you can run.
- A Flask sticker that you can place anywhere!

So essentially they paid a few grand for a Flask course, decent support package (1 hour live support, unlimited email support), some videos and swag.
While that obviously works out to a surprising amount from each individual, if the author really spent two months putting the course together, well ... it wouldn't be particularly well-paid client work for a contractor in the Bay Area.

Public trust in law enforcement should be preserved, especially when they are national spectacles? Why? Law enforcement agencies of the government are fascinating, but I do not see why they or any other arm of the government must be preserved; the citizens are what matter, not the government.
But why is this transition desirable?

Living in the world's largest democracy, it's more and more evident each day that the basis of democracy is it's biggest problem itself - majority. Majority is not always right & minority might not always wrong(Sometimes both these statements can be mutually exclusive). If you belong to any kind of minority (lgbt, religious minority, cannabis users etc.) life can be very difficult in India, since democracy has little mechanism for qualitative evaluation.

Democracy can work in a utopia very everyone's perfectly rational but irl, even for intelligent people, mental space is occupied enough to be corrupted by lopsided influence.

What you describe (people in positions of power telling lies to get out from under bad behavior) seems so common these days that it really makes me wonder how we got here. How did truth and justice get demoted so far, and how did we create so many people that can clearly sleep at night after these lies?
So maintaining the 'justice system' is an ends in itself?

Not an end in itself, but I'd say it's a very important component in maintaining an ordered society.

Whether you consider that to be a worthwhile end may depend on your political leanings; I'm a Canadian, and where the US constitution exhorts the "blessings of liberty", ours speaks of "peace, order, and good government".
I expect it's true that they lose safe harbor, but I couldn't find anything saying that. Are you just guessing?

I didn't see any pitchforks. Just a very detailed end-user report detailing a bunch of issues with an online service, provided free of charge.

> I truly see things differently, I don't want an end game where mobbing and shaming - I want to key people coding and making things.

Good, so go code stuff and make stuff. You're not doing either here you're telling someone to stop making stuff (writing is making stuff).

He just might, time will tell. But at least he gave Udemy the benefit of his experience for which they are no doubt grateful.

It's nice to make full use of all the significant bits in a double-precision float, but I don't think it matters much in typical use cases.

Mike Malone's original code sample [1] uses only 6 bits from each invocation of Math.random(). Most people who use the multiply-and-floor method to obtain a random integer are probably using no more than 31 bits, either.

On the other hand, even the full 53 bits is woefully insufficient for unique identifiers or any serious cryptographical purposes, where you need at least 128 bits to be safe. So you'll still need to call Math.random() multiple times.

This wasn't something that happens every day.

The Flask screencasts were my first attempt at a Kickstarter. My goal may have been ambitious but I looked at other programming books/material and tried to price it around what those projects got funded for.

Long story short, my campaign tanked for nearly the full month and 36 hours before it ended an Australian businessman nearly solo backed the project and we've been in contact since working on various things.

I don't want to mention his name unless he gives me permission, but I wanted to post this now to clear up how this took place.

My political leanings are skeptical; it seems to me that the objectives of the police and prosectors are (respectively) to preserve the police and the prosecutors. When crime increases, the police say they are underfunded and overworked, while prosecutors call for additional funding and powers. When crime goes down, they claim it is thanks to their intelligence and dilligence. Both groups are also known for avoiding being held responsible when they fail at their jobs (such as by shooting unarmed people who happen to also be naked, or convicting the innocent through fraudulent evidence).[1][2]

Are the police and prosecutors really focused and achieving the maintenance of an ordered society, or are they just keeping their jobs?

YouTube absolutely makes money off of pirated content. They shows ads on top of it.
WhatsApp will hide last seen, but will still show you if a user is online instantaneously - you'd have to have their conversation open.

Using ruby timeout led to a bug that took me 2 weeks to debug. It was causing data interleaving and corruption in redis(ie you set a key's value to 1 but it's set to 2 instead because a separate thread set another key to 2 - that's how dangerous it is)

Does anybody know what this work was:

"In 1975, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech called Krantz with a problem. Pictures of Venus and Mars transmitted by the Voyager spacecraft had been taken in the dark while the craft was moving, and were, as was expected, horribly blurred. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory had a deblurring technique using an on-board computer that logged the spacecraft's motion, but the technique took a month and Congress wanted to see the pictures now. A researcher discovered a way to unblur the pictures more quickly if he could factor polynomials of several variables in a certain way. He called Krantz and asked him how to do it. "I thought about it for a while, and then I said, 'It can't be done.' Like most people, he just assumed that he had called the wrong person."

That's not a rock-star, it's not what the term means.

As for your main point, most people don't want to deal with jerks, so what? That doesn't mean anything when it comes to whether the jerk is a good leader or not. Lots of leaders are jerks, it's rather common to people who feel "they should be in charge".

Leaders are those who take charge, and lead. Naturally they find ways to take charge of a leaderless group and while you want to say they shouldn't be the leader, they are by virtue of being the only leader there. The smart guy you think would make a better leader, generally doesn't want to be leader and will let the jerk take charge; that actually disqualifies them as good leaders because a good leader wouldn't do that.
This is really cool. It's surprisingly hard to find good examples of how to implement type inference.
