We are developing an open protocol, which take the best of XMPP and improve it :)

We are for decentralization, the extension of the protocol, but without harm for the users.

For web and native clients use thin client connecting to the server via websocket and CBOR. Why not JSON? This allows you not to have problems with sending binary files unlike XMPP.

Also thinking about using WebRTC for the transmission of all messages, files and audio/video, but today WebRTC is not supported everywhere.

The server has the ability to transport other protocols.
The lesson there is that those whom are irresponsible get further ahead (by having the irresponsibility discharged).

This is what always irked me about how the bailouts were handled. They should have been controlled government regulated destructors that would tear off and re-attach resources that were viable to other companies and leave the investors with none of their investment.
From an economic point of view. How would you provide Basic income for everyone while at the same time eliminating the "wage price spiral" effect of normal goods such as milk and bread. I am not an economist but I would be curious.

Another point would be who gets to decide what a basic income is. Why stop at basic income. One thing that always troubles me able minimal wage discussions is why start minimum wage as say $15 dollars an hour. Why not $100. I actually believe that if we eliminated the minimum wage altogether the wages for various jobs would be able to find a better equilibrium then setting a artificial minimum. The argument the employers would reduce wages to $0.50 and the like would not happen because everyone would quit.

Could License Plate Reader Tech Get Sketchier? Texas Is on It
You can use the '.' (dot) key to modify/inverse the (single) dot above letters:

AltGr . + i => ı
AltGr . + I => İ

I think this is what you were looking for and I find this combination easy to remember and other combinations seem to follow mostly the same principle (e.g. " (double quotes) modifies the double dots on the letters, which allows to make öÖäÄüÜëË, etc. The same for ~ (tilde), ` (backtick), ' (single quote).

Here the combination for the special Turkish characters:

Ç -> AltGr + % + C or AltGr , (comma) + C

ç -> AltGr + % + c or AltGr , (comma) + c

I remember this combination because the on the % key there is 5, or to say it differently % = Shift + 5,
and 5 resembles a bit the symbol that goes below the C in Ç. The same is true for Şş

Ğ -> AltGr + Shift + 9 + G

ğ -> AltGr + Shift + 9 + g

I remember these because (Shift + 9 corresponds to '(', i.e. opening bracket, which truned by 90°to left is like the sign that is on top of ğ and Ğ

ı -> AltGr + . + i

İ -> AltGr + . + I

Ö -> AltGr + " + O

ö -> AltGr + " + o

Same principle for üÜ (and äÄ if you need German as well)

Ş -> AltGR + % + S

ş -> AltGr + % + s

Ü -> AltGr + " + U

ü -> AltGr + " + u

The slip on some immersive 3D thing and have an actual avatar that's mapped to the worker's actions. This includes drawing on the virtual white board. It probably also includes a decent face-rig and several other non-verbal communications.
Increases in lifespan in the US since the 1950s have been far more from bringing up the lower end (improved outcomes for underprivileged minorities) than by extending top-end (white female & male) life expectency. Almost as if there were a diminishing returns setting in.

There's actually been some recent improvement following the 1990s, but the vast bulk of life-expectency / mortality improvements came prior to 1920. Predating virtually all of modern medicine, but benefiting tremendously from antisceptics, sewerage systems, municipal garbage collection, refrigeration, and some early food safety and disease control, especially over cholera, tuberculosis, and yellow fever.
Yeah, it made a very satisfying noise and visual effect.
TL;DR laptops have been hit/miss for me but phones/tablets are miles ahead.

I am no Apple fan per se; I loved their laptops but I got burnt; I forgot the English/American term for it; monday laptop or something I think it is?

The best laptops I had before Apple were Fujitsu... And the warranty. US/EU companies should be so ashamed. For not paying more they would get the laptop from my home and give me a new one mostly, no questions asked. Dropped, water damage, whatever. They still do that for company laptops but they are not so interesting anymore. They were then (8 years ago?) for me, especially the P1510/20 series. Panasonic took that over but they are a lot more expensive. My last P1510 works fine still. Brilliant stuff. Anyway.

After that;

My first 2 Macbooks were magic. I dropped an entire pot of tea on my 2nd one; it was before the moist sensors and it was under warranty so they replaced it. Very nice. While it was in 'repair' I needed to work; I bought a Macbook Pro and it was horrible. I got the old Macbook back and the Pro which should be faster was slower. Brought both to Apple (in Amsterdam) and they said it had something to do with my software. Yeah. VIM. It's super heavy. Very nasty experience. Battery life on the Pro was not there either but they couldn't find anything so I had to suck it up.

I bought an Air 11 inch. What a GREAT machine. Excellent battery life (I USE VIM 90% OF THE DAY FFS), light, looks good.

A friend told me the Macbook pro is excellent. So I gave the Air away to a friend and bought a kitted out Pro. The misery. No battery life and it was slow with max mem and cpu. Slower than the Air on everything. Again; Apple says it isn't. I won't mention Vim again.

Having said all that; smartphones. I want to use Android. I want to believe in Android and Android phones. I have tried all top phones for Android. But no, it doesn't work; iPhone really feels so much better. And tablets there is no comparison; iPad wins hands down. The MS stuff starts to get somewhere but i'm not using tablets for productivity as it still feels annoying and without productivity iPad really feels so nice. Maybe it happens (I'm trying) one day.

When I leave home on long trips I bring an iPhone, iPad and Lenovo X220 (18 hours battery). There is currently nothing that works better for me.

Edit: X220 is with Ubuntu; I cannot get into Windows for the past 33 years; I went from Basic -> CP/M -> MS DOS (very shortly) -> Unix (forgot the flavor) -> SunOS/Solaris -> Linux; Windows feels distinctly alien. It is not hatred or anything else than that I really cannot into it or see how I could work efficiently with it.
>Pepsi Co produces 100s of products under different brand names, many of them huge market leaders.

Sure, but they sell essentially the same type of drink but in different flavors. The jump from one drink to another is different from a Mac to a microwave.

PepsiCo is big in the snack food and cereal market, and also sell things like juice, tea and even pancake syrup in addition to their more well known sodas.

The point of these examples was that it is possible to produce dozens of high quality product with attention details. These companies did so many years, even spanning decades. Their failures had more individual flavors and I don't think it's generalizable to "they had lots of products". In fact, companies like Microsoft is still able to survive precisely because they had built up long tail and failure in one or two products didn't entirely collapsed the company.

Apple's core business requirement is high margins. This is only possible if they keep spawning new big product lines as big as iPhone (i.e. Looking for lucky unicorn) OR building long tail of products where single loss of market share doesn't impact entire company.

Take it to the store, you dummy. People are so used to the complete lack of customer service from everybody else that this doesn't occur to them.

The whole point of paying more for Apple stuff is that they make and sell high quality gear. On the rare occasion when there's a quality issue, you just take it to the store and they fix it right there and then, or if it can't be fixed there, in 2-3 days.

As to what the advantage is, they're the only ones that know how to make easy to use, high quality computing devices. They could easily go for the marketshare, but that's not the game they choose to play. They choose to own the profits, not market share. Perhaps an old fashioned way of doing things, but I like it.

It's great to be the only one who knows how to do stuff properly. Netflix is the only company that knows how to properly run a streaming video business. Amazon is the only one that knows how to properly sell stuff on the internet. FB is the only one that knows how to do social networking. Google is the only one that knows how to do search. Tesla is the only one that knows how to properly make a luxury electric car. And so on and so forth. When you're the only one that knows how to do stuff, your lead is nearly insurmountable, since the competitor has to not merely be as good to win, it has to be twice or three times as good, which is impossible to do in some markets.

To quote: "What is left unsaid is that if the broad market declines 50%, index funds also plummet 50%." The article is just stupid. If someone doesn't realize that the index funds will go up and down based on the very market they're indexing, and that all markets go up and down all the time, maybe that someone should just consume their money so that people with more wits can take better care of them.

Who would be such an idiot to claim they're "safe" in the first place? Any investing is never "safe": you can always risk losing part of your money, even if you invest in a house. Not investing your money isn't safe either.

Indexes can certainly dip for years: that's why you manage your risk and only invest money you don't need that much so that you don't have to cash in your investment during bad times. As long as the economy grows the growth will eventually be reflected in the indexes. Even a single 10-year period with a common stock index lower in the end rather than in the beginning would be, in practice, a rare occasion. Most depressions are over in a few years. Some continents can tank longer but you will want to buy indexes from different areas of the world anyway. Or you can only buy your local indexes, making sure you will yourself go up and down with the indexes you buy.

An index will grow a few percent annually in the average, compounded. This is over decades which imply bad years and very good years. To buy the most passive index funds that have the smallest operating costs and letting your money sit in there is more and more likely to beat active funds and individual stock picking simply by waiting for the years to go by. Any costs saved by skipping active management fees or stock transaction fees will accumulate into your earnings instead.
I read an interesting interview a while ago. Among other things it mentions that "The beta-carotene that is produced synthetically is a single isomer -- a very straight molecule called "all-trans" beta-carotene. Beta-carotene that is found in nature frequently consists of both the straight "all-trans" molecule and a variety of bent molecules that contain what are called "cis" double bonds."

In the paper you estimate that Distributed Alpha Go has ELO around 3200 (if I read the plot correctly.) According to goratings.org, Fan Hui is rated 2900 and Lee Sedol is rated 3515. Doesn't that mean you still have work to do before beating Lee Sedol?
Interesting, one of the top tier schools in my area has a little trick: they give you a ring. The idea being you wear the ring to interviews, so that they know you're from the school. Of course, if they looked at your application form they would know your school, but for other areas where they cannot ask for your school this gets around that. I personally find that very elitest but people will go to lengths to make their reputation known (they ban wearing school uniforms, but rings are exempt for example_

I see your point, but this can happen both if you created a want-based venture or a need-based venture - and marketed the product correctly in the later case.

That is one of the reasons I never jumped the boat to Apple, even though I like the NeXT origins of Mac OS X.

For the type of stuff I do at home, games and graphics, CPU and discrete GPU matter a lot.

So given the price difference from a Macbook Pro to similar specked Windows laptops, I could never justify the 1000 € price difference specially when the hardware has issues unjustifiable for a 2 500 € laptop (2.5x the average engineer salary on my home country).

I continue to believe that the best way of 'locking' a price is to ensure that the market remains with the correct supply to buyer ratio.

As an example: to decrease the cost of rent in a city, an increase in rent-able locations and attached commercial business and non-retail jobs need to be in those locations.

This is also related to suggestions that say controlling medical care could be achieved by allowing more agents at all (doctors or not) to be able to treat obvious conditions. I agree that in the short term the suggestion would be viable, were it not for regulations; however I think that artificial diagnosis neural networks will probably achieve adoption before the regulations catch up.
It just all adds up:

- First world, bandwidth hungry nation.

- Low population to recoup costs from.

- Very low population density so transit across the country isn't super economical (related to above)

- Expensive to build transit because it's all underwater cable, no easy cross-border land-based fiber.

My personal feeling is that anyone drawn to sales has a belief that they can magically make the world / other people / their mother do what they want simply by using the right words / form of persuasion. Its a belief in magic instead of science and it should not be a valuable skill in the 21C. Calling it a Reality Distortion Field is not improving the situation.

Minimum wage is AUD 17.29 per hour, not the AUD ~28 you quote. A hostel at Bondi Beach is ~ USD 50 per night, not the USD 70 you quoted (and this is an expensive spot!). I can only think you must have visited when the USD was down the toilet.

On the hostel charging USD 25 for 8 hours. You can get a 4G sim card with with 50mbps+ download and 5GB limit for AUD 30ish.

But yes, everything is more expensive, generally. The dollar fluctuations makes it interesting. Also, sales tax is included in our prices unlike the US.

Armchair hypothesis: This aggressive pruning may not have any affect on normal brain functioning in some cases. For example, it might prune a whole sub network off the normal day to day network, leaving a "dark" dysfunctional subnet disconnected from the regular day to day brain's network.

Then, if someone chooses to be under the influence of a drug that enables new pathways to form (pot, psychedelics etc), this "dark" network can potentially be reconnected. The emotional response to this connection (good or bad) strengthens this "bridge" connection, leaving it connected when the influence of the drug wears off. Now the person has a faulty pruned network as part of their normal day to day network. Crap.

The trick from here is to reinforce the normal network and ignore signals from the faulty network until the bridge path's significance subsides enough to not enter day to day functioning.
Exactly. High income neighborhoods aren't just randomly scattered around. While I have no interest in living in a high income neighborhood per se, I want to bike to work, be away from major highways, have green spaces around my house, feel reasonably safe and be reasonably close to an at least a half way decent school and all places that fulfill those criteria are almost by definition high income neighborhoods.
I wonder how it's even allowed for CF to do this. "your site" <--- http ---> CF <--- https ---> clients is a poor solution and it only hides that the connection is actually not secure. Isn't this a misuse of many CA's TOS and should result in certificate revocation? Maybe I'm wrong though.
Stupid me. I missread the code and did a proof of concept in jsbin just adding "</script><script>alert('XSS');</script><script>" as a hobby.

Nevertheless, using a framework like React protects you automatically from accidentally adding XSS vulnerabilities.
