I think if you should have less faith in anything it's the increasing attitude (at least from what I see) that public media is not worth funding with tax dollars or personal donations because it becomes a mouthpiece for a political agenda you may not agree with, so they have to rely on advertising stay on the air.

That said, there does appear to be some political leaning to NPR, but it's not nearly as bad as the cable news outlets.

It's pretty worrying that the former Mozilla CTO seems to be so uninformed about a topic or -- worse -- decided to write an article on a topic without even spending a few minutes researching it and understanding the implications.

It doesn't reflect well on Mozilla either that they hired someone who seems to be so out of his depth on core matters to Mozilla's business.
> Like, not having a decent REST abstraction

The community has stepped in here.

Django Rest-framework provides one of the best approaches for creating restful apis that any web framework has to offer. For me, using Django is inseparable from using Django Rest-framework. Its what makes working with Django great.

Nodal by comparison does a lot of great things like Django does, but without the robustness of a rest framework behind it, Nodal seems to have created another good framework but not something new and better.

Oh yes! I'm 49, and the weight of potential unfulfilled weighs heavy. I guess that's classic mid life crisis territory. In reaction I've never been so focused and impatient with time wasters and wasting. I'm bootstrapping in my spare time - see my profile for more details.
Just so we're clear, you're saying that a nuclear-armed North Korea is a good thing?

While I completely get where you're coming from, realistically this can be very messy. You'd quickly find that an increasing number of your support calls were from those users having issues. 15% doesn't sound like a lot, but 15% of a million people is 150,000 people.

So, you'd succeed in angering a lot of customers. Much better to try and inform all of your customers (not just corporate) of the upcoming changes, and provide support materials for them to follow while giving them a reasonable timeframe to do so.
I'm not sure if this will go to another "trial" if there will be clear evidence of prosecutorial misconduct they might hold another one, but they did deny an appeal in 2008.

That said apparently the DA did act appropriately as there was a clear case of conflict of interest they've delegated the case to the adjacent district which handled the prosecution and most of the investigation.
From what I've read about the case this isn't just a clear cut case the documentary did present quite a bit of evidence but it was very cherry picked I'm not entirely sold what actually happened.

My biggest grief with this documentary isn't that it drives and agenda is that it does it on an "active case" this is a sad story indeed but this should've been done on a different case perhaps I would assume that there are plenty of miscarriage of justice cases that are over which could've been used.
I hope there will be an investigation in this manner but even the most biased news coverage of any criminal case doesn't formulate and opinion of the matter as much as this docu did, and this can poison any potential future investigation or trial for better or for worse.
Ugh. Marc Andreesen is the worst with this. I had to stop following him. Twitter is the wrong platform if you want to smear 1500 characters worth of information across multiple tweets.
It would be great if these phablets could make a room for smaller phones that don't suck. We already see proper "mini", "compact" phones, so let's hope they actually get mini and compact. Right now they would be laughed off as too big in the early days of smartphones.

I don't think the issue is with the system's ability to replicate the effect. Rather, with a digital system you're now faced with the problem of explicitly representing the effect, where the analog system had the effect built-in. If you can't quantify the effect then you will be unable to replicate it, and if you can then you have to do the work to replicate it. If these effects are a signature of your work, I can see how it would feel like a step backward to suddenly have to quantify them, and it would be very tempting to switch back to the equipment that already applies the effect.
It was a very popular platform for audio recording by journalists. Good from factor, good battery life, decent audio quality (compared to cassettes/mini cassettes,) flexible controls and either decent microphones or at least connectors.

I'm surprised it's still popular enough however, I'd have thought modern flash based platforms would have killed minidisc by now. It was different back in the early 2000s.

> Anything could happen. But I'm not going to concern myself with it until I see some evidence.

So, you are drinking battery acid until you see evidence that it's not good for you?

Or do you maybe take the evidence of other people's experience into account?

If so, how about you take into account the evidence of hundreds of societies that have dealt with massive surveillance (where "massive" still was "almost none" in comparison to today's and tomorrow's technical possibilities) and with oppression (those two empirically tend to go hand in hand).

If those are your sincere beliefs, I really would recommend you pick up a few books about recent German history. How Hitler came to power, how the state functioned once he was in power, how people tried to get rid of him but failed, and what it took to finally remove him. And then continue with the history of the GDR, how surveillance by the Stasi influenced everyday life, how people tried to reform the political system but failed, and what it took to finally reunite Germany.

The history of other countries might teach you similar things, but Germany is a good example because it is culturally a rather "western country", so it's easier to recognize similarities.
I am right there with you. I am in my 40s, and have a solid career as a corporate & solo dev. and I have started feeling that weight as well. You might just be describing a "modern" mid life crisis. Self reflection without the need to buy an impractical car.
Chick-fil-A debuts new valet service for parents of young children
Neither of those are fair use defences.
There was a thread on LW about potential information hazards[0] - in particular, a kind created by the special flavor of decision theory which was being developed there. This was one of the "peculiar out there" kind of stuff LW people like to play with. Here comes Roko, who says that he created a potential hazardous piece of information - a thing that if you know it, you're fucked - that could lead to people suffering, and then posts it right there. Eliezer deleted the comment, claiming Roko is being irresponsible (and wrong, but still irresponsible if he believed that what he posted was a hazard), and the topic of what became known as Roko's basilisk was banned from discussion for some time.

Eliezer's argument was that Roko behaved unethically by posting something he claimed to believe will hurt people who will read it. That's irrelevant to whether the post itself was an information hazard or not. Eliezer actually later claimed it wasn't, that Roko was wrong. But the whole situation ended up being used to prove the point that LW people are loonies who invent and believe crazy things.

Hence my analogy, in which one person is rightfully angry at another, but ends up being painted as having issues instead.

New Plugin for Capturing Facebook Leads
With almost 1.5 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the world’s largest social network. By any standard, that’s a huge market, irrespective of your particular product or industry. But Facebook leads aren’t actually leads until you capture them! How do you tap into that practically limitless market and capture those leads?

Our new web-to-lead feature for Facebook automates the process and provides a great tool for sales reps (who can add hot leads to the CRM) and interested leads (who can sign up in a couple of seconds).

Agile web forms let you create online forms for capturing contact details of interested leads. Our new Facebook plugin lets you add those custom Agile Forms to your Facebook business pages. The forms show up in their own tabs, and when someone submits a form, the info is automatically pushed into Agile CRM. You can even run marketing campaigns on those new leads automatically.

‘Design Thinking’ for a Better You
I guess there is a subtle joke in using "literally" in a context where it's about the actual amount of letters.
> We need to regulate any institution that collects data in the same way.

I feel like this is too wide. Everyone collects data. I don't mean all tech companies collect data, I mean, for example, your friends have copies of the emails you've sent them. They have photos with you in them of places you've been with timestamps and GPS coordinates. Your coworkers have access to your calendar. Your mechanic has the service history on your car. Your librarian knows which books you have checked out.

These aren't problematic situations because they each only have a little piece of your data, and you trust each those people with that little piece, and if you don't then you don't have to give it to them.

The problem is when you don't have that choice. Which is what happens when you're dealing with a government or a monopoly (or some other concentrated market where you can't trust any of the players). You can't reasonably choose to not have your location collected by your mobile carrier, or the traffic cameras in front of your home. If all your friends use Facebook, then Facebook Facebook Facebook.

But we don't really want to regulate Facebook. I mean holy cow, what is that even supposed to look like?

I think we can separate the problem into two pieces. The first is collection by, let's call it, unavoidable monopolies. Telecommunications carriers and other utility companies. This is where we know exactly what to do, because these entities should not be collecting any information about people at all. There is no reason Verizon needs to know anything about you other than whether you've paid your bill. So regulation here can be useful, e.g. make it unlawful for carriers to triangulate a cellphone's location without a warrant, or collect anything whatsoever about the contents of IP packets. But we also have a strong technical solution here. Encrypt all the things. Fully deprecate HTTP in favor of HTTPS. We need to build, for example, DNS query privacy. Things like that.

The other part of the problem is what you might call avoidable monopolies. There is no fundamental reason why Facebook has to be as centralized as it is. You have a phone which has all your photos on it and is connected to the internet 24/7. Why is there a copy of your photos on Facebook's servers? If one of your friends wants to see one of your photos, why are they not getting it directly from you? Then you don't have to trust Facebook with a copy of it. So the solution for this half of the problem is, disintermediate the avoidable monopolies.
I went to a meetup a few months back and learned how the system works here in Norway. The main reason this is a private industry is scalability issues. There are huge costs connected with establishing the refugee centers, and it's hard to know for how long the center will be in use. At least that's how things used to be. For the the most part of the last 35 years there have been 5-year cycles between 5-15k refugees coming to Norway, but after 2010 it has stabilized at 15k and last year it started rising. Norway accepted 30k refugees last year, and will probably receive another 100k this year. So the industry is "good" now, but at the same time the requirements for these centers and the maximum price the state pays are disproportionate. As noted in the other comments: not much room for profit.
I think learning to do things in moderation is really the key here.

I liked that the article is not vehemently chastising social media as the bane of modern civilization nor praising it as the second coming. There are pros and cons to adopting most new technologies.

It's better to develop a discipline to use them in moderation rather than to cut it off completely or depend on them excessively.

I would hope that no one else gets treated as poorly as I was and experience this type of disrespect.

Google is certainly not getting a free pass, have you followed the lawsuit that's been taking place between the two companies for years now?

The situations are completely different. Microsoft was a Java licensee and as such, had to abide by the license (they didn't).

Google is not a Java licensee, so Oracle's attack on them is following a totally different angle.
Also, when data is stolen, it is simply copied, the "original" remains on your computer - unlike physical items (which disappear when stolen). So it is really hard to notice.
I could have written exactly the same comment.

> On the other hand, how do you embed a browser component in a forward-compatible way?

Android uses a WebView component. If an app wants to display a webpage, it can make use of this to render HTML. I imagine iOS uses something similar.

I believe this component is compiled separately for different versions of Android, and Android will only update to the newest compatible version.

I find a nice equivalent is to get rid of the browser. I'm still connected to the internet, but I find that non-browser based internet activity is usually higher-quality activity. I'm trying to move as much of what I do as possible out of the browser, into "something else". If there's no way to get it into "something else", that's often a good sign I don't need it.
I really don't get the concept of people being "stuck on XP": Vista shipped in 2007, so if your company wrote software after that that was locked to XP they made a mistake - one they've had EIGHT YEARS to fix. Everything except the most expensive, vertical-market hardware (that might require XP for driver support) has nigh-certainly already been depreciated to zero on the books.

If we were being pedantic we'd never use the term h-bomb - we'd be calling them thermonuclear weapons or Teller-Ulam devices if we're being really pedantic. Half the fusion fuel in a thermonuclear weapon starts out as lithium and half the energy comes from fast fusion neutrons fissioning the depleted uranium shell.

One deathcount they're missing is a database is widely believed to be more valuable in proportion to the number of people with access, to the limiting stage of everyone has access to everything except for the general public, see credit and shopping data in the USA, etc.

So the specific deathcount increase is once 5% of the population has access to everyone's data, 1 in 20 abusers will have access to their victims data, to help track down and kill or otherwise continue to abuse.

Likewise it'll be a profitable source of blackmail data.

^^ after spending several man years of effort on the subject, that's the inevitable boundary in ORM development, IMHO. It was this that made me realize that we needed to be focused on providing a better, cleaner way to allow running custom queries using a declarative, database-agnostic syntax, rather than focusing on implementing even-deeper support for xD/A queries.

Also I don't mean to nitpick, but I'm hearing a lot of negativity towards Waterline from a couple of the commenters in this thread, and I'm not clear on how it lines up with specific, actionable criticism that I or the rest of the core team can do anything about. I get that having to use a framework or stack for work when you aren't excited about it is horrible (it was originally how I felt about Grails and Hibernate when I was using them every day in 2011).

But I think it's important to keep in mind that this is always "compared to what". The Java ecosystem has had years to develop tools for working with data, and it certainly still provides more mature utilities out of the box than you're going to get as someone new to the Node world, even today. But I firmly believe in the power and flexibility of JavaScript-- not because it's a good language or anything-- but because we all had to learn it to do front-end development in the browser. And so will the next generation of developers.

Whether we like it or not, Node.js is here to stay. And for me, that's a tremendously exciting thought. A future with the world sharing a common programming language is a goal worth fighting for. It's a future that dramatically lowers the barrier to entry to full stack web development, and vastly expands the pool of people willing and able to contribute to free and open-source technology.

Hang in there :)
Indeed, but they're having such fun. Let's leave them be.
The argument between the two of you is baffling. It is incontrovertible that the U.S. is using electronic data gathered right now by itself and by private technology companies to screw with people. Literally billions of dollars will be spent on that purpose this year alone. There are several government agencies devoted to doing it. There are also the government agencies of a dozen or two other countries which the U.S. government agencies work with and share data with to a greater or lesser extent. Literally thousands of newspaper articles have been written about this.

The U.S. government has several orders of magnitude more information about the private lives and communications and beliefs and activities of its citizens than East Germany ever had. This is also incontrovertible and undeniable.

How can either of you talk about abuses that happened in the past as if those were the only abuses? Why would you need to?

Depends on the project. If I'm on an intense project, easily 7-8. If I'm not on a project, maybe 1-3. If I'm unemployed and left to my own devices (pursuing projects/freelance or furthering my education), probably 4-5.

Agreed. But there's a potential moral debate to be had around the subject.

Imagine if you were given this scenario: "x" people will be killed tomorrow, you can't change that. There are three options for which people will be killed, either "well-off", "in poverty" or "random". You can choose one of the three, if you don't make a choice then one of the three will be randomly picked and the deaths still occur.

Would killing the people in poverty be better because you're wiping out more misery, would it be worse because you're letting financial state influence death?

And as much as ethically we want to think that all people are equal, let's not forget that most armys would be willing to kill 10 opponents to save the life of 1 colleague, and taking the US as an example I suspect (could be wrong..) a poll of the US would see most people willing to kill 10 North Koreans to save the life of 1 American, without having any other information about the 11 people who might die.
