Email was the only other useful part. Thunderbird is not exactly dead, just forgotten. I still run it, since I de-googled, though sadly it's also turning into bloatware.

Netscape had a chat thing, html publisher, and I think something else.

WebRTC, pocket, the webIDE, even things like the dom inspector, style editor etc and pdf are bloat for most mortals. Perfect for some "official" plugins. They managed it for the FF OS simulator.

It's all optional crap that increases bloat and attack surface, except it's not optional.
Stripe Atlas Aims to Ease the Way for Foreign Entrepreneurs
Here in the UK opening a bank account with SVB involved about 50 pages of paperwork, and if you make a mistake, re-doing the whole section.

SVB could easily do a web app to help people fill in the important bits, and mail them a printout to sign, but they haven't.

We can. But we'd still reduce the accidental gun deaths tremendously—as well as killings by people who weren't previously criminals. Yes, we probably won't get the guns away from criminals—there are too many guns, and they've been around for too long. But we'll still reduce the deaths.

Again, IANAL, and I'm Canadian with a US bank account but yet to "do business" in the US (just having an expense account does not qualify in most/all jurisdictions): Having a US phone number does not make you a US resident -- but having a US bank account means proving to the IRS and your bank that they should not withhold any taxes on your personal account. Having a US phone number does not in any way on its own require you to fill out IRS forms. Having a bank account does because your assets could be frozen, hence W8 and W9. Having a company in the US means potential tax returns, because now you're officially doing business federally and also at a state level for your company. Even then, you are NOT a US resident personally, unless you physically reside within the US more than X% of the year. There are also many different tax treaties under which your W8 forms can provide exemptions, though some declarations might still require annual filing to declare you're not a resident, or pay taxes on dividends. Your US company is considered a US person, however.

Doesn't look like it. It looks like it's just a thin wrapper the `docker` module, which is a wrapper around the Docker API.

https://github.com/deepgram/sidomo/blob/7890cde8c5dbf1722311...

It probably wouldn't be much effort to add an options object that is a direct pass-thru to the Docker API. That gives you the availability of all options and helps to future proof it.

I'm not a Python developer, but I've had success doing exactly this in node with the `dockerode` module.
> foreigners' data

That's commonly assumed, but it's not quite accurate. It's not about "data originating from foreigner". Instead, the criteria[1] is "foreign data" or "data that traveled over a foreign connection". It's not the person that must be foreign, but the data or specific wire on which it travels.

Several sources have explained how the NSA captures domestic data when it travels internationally, such email (gmail) that is stored or processed at a foreign data center. This probably allows almost any data to be captured with some clever packet re-routing.

Parser combinators for lazy streams can be written as recursive descent and perform as, more or less, generalized LR parsing (exploring all tree branches "simultaneously").

http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/monparsing.pdf

What is more, these combinators can express context-sensitive grammars: https://www.cs.york.ac.uk/plasma/publications/pdf/partialpar... (page 5).

And, by tweaking combinators, you can arrive to the wonders of stream processing parsing without (mostly) space leaks: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/edu/year/2015/course/afp/Papers/p...

It is easy to add syntax error position reporting, also it is easy to add syntax error corrections. All this can be done in under a day.

For me it offers good things from both worlds - declarative specification of parser generators and easy modifications from "parse damn thing by hand".

I actually encountered one case where that approach shines incommensurably: supporting old languages like VHDL. VHDL fits every parser formalism almost without seams but still has one place where you cannot do things either efficiently or elegantly: character literals and attributes. 'a' is a character literal, a'a is an invocation of attribute a on the object a. The ambiguity is in the lexing level, needing feedback from parsing level. Usual parsing tools cannot do that good enough, with parsing combinators it is trivial.
That's what we thought at first, too. But then you'll want search and easy content creation that works without developer involvement. We've added customisation and a sleek Intercom integration on top.

Slack is nice and very useful. As you mention there are a ton of integrations- there's cool new uses every day, but I don't see why it would need to be part of your audio/video/conference flow other than as links to join or something of the sort.

For instance, to get everyone into a Join.Me conference I just copy/paste the link into the channel and people connect from their browser/desktop app/phone app- but it would've been the same with email.

I feel like the audio/video is the one place where Slack doesn't really add value to the flow, other than what Slack already does- makes it easier to give the connection info to your group/channel.

GDB 7.11 released
In the early pages of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, Lawrence tries to understand Alan Turing (who is a character in the novel):

"From an evolution standpoint, what was the point of having people around who were not inclined to have offspring? There must be some good, and fairly subtle, reason for it.

The only thing he could work out was that it was groups of people--societies--rather than individual creatures, who were now trying to out-reproduce and/or kill each other, and that, in a society, there was plenty of room for someone who didn't have kids as long as he was up to something useful."
As a statistician I believe this article shows the strengths of R

- fast prototyping methods

- easily repeat research with scripts

- data visualization

- huge repository of add-on libraries from many areas of study

Sure R has it setbacks. I wouldn't rely on it for a production environment or a substitute for a higher level programming language. Yet if you want to study data and get results rather quick there is few that could compete in this space.
Well, the article is about the occurrence of homosexual behavior in some populations of greylag geese. I don't know how this turned into "so many animals". According to Wikipedia, homosexuality has been observed in anywhere from 500 to 1500 species -- out of an estimated 8.7 million currently living (estimate from 2011).

I'm all for using science-based observations to promote tolerance but this feels a little forced.

You have a few conflated arguments here.

Open source is relatively orthogonal to the patent system. There is some overlap in that they both require disclosure, but the fundamental incentives are different, so you should expect different software to be developed.

Improvements to patents can be patented in their own right, by different owners. I agree that it is significantly more onerous than open source.

Scummy as Martin Shkreli was, he jacked the price up on a generic... Not something under patent. It just takes time/money to certify that new generic lines are manufactured to FDA standards, do he had a temporary monopoly.

Lawsuits against "infringing" software are relatively easy, and expensive to defend against. That is independent of whether the defendant patented the software or not. This is more the nature of our legal system, and one could argue that the patent system should handle this stuff internally. However, I think the legal system would be hard to improve upon without causing other problems, like making it difficult to challenge for legitimate infringement.

All in all, I agree a lot of questionable patents get issued. I just think the reality is far more subtle.

>In the absence of growth the only way for an individual to get more resources is to take it from someone else.

Part of my point is that there are more than enough resources, what's needed is better distribution. Plus some scaling down the over-consumption of crap.

Besides this "taking it from someone else" is already the case with the growth model, were not only a tiny fraction of the population has a huge percentage of the world's wealth (debt aside, I know those arguments too), but people can be making $1000 Armani suits for 12 hours a day in the third world just to have the same, or even worse, quality of life as they did before their country was forced into globalization.

For centuries the growth depended on plundering the third world, as colonialists, neo-colonialists, slave owners, democrary-bringers etc, plus heavy internal forcing of people (e.g. the rural population) to become factory workers.

Now we've come to the point technologically that we don't need all those people anyway -- not even the service industry which we invented as a stop gap to have people employed.

Report indicates the MBTA paid $236M in Swap interest/fees/costs
Actually Lennart working for RedHat is what gave systemd serious traction. If it came to 21st century software, there are numerous modern init systems around (dependency driven, fast) that largely predate systemd. If any of those systems had been widely adopted by now it would be probably far ahead of systemd in feature set.

OpenRC is what got closest to be the replacement SysV-Init, just by its qualities and market share. But other, nicer systems exist, but they never found wide adoption because the main distributions didn't let go of SysV.

Now Lennart claims all the bragging rights, but people who used modern init systems before it was cool know better (there are a lot of Lennart opponents among those, BTW).

I find it hilarious that the author continued to use a term that is, by definition, only applicable to humans. I'd think if they were going to put so much time into the article they'd at least have the presence of mind to use the correct terminology. Based on the wording used I'd say the author had an agenda.
Of course, there's a level of disclosure for Government run projects that means their blunders get exposed more easily.

Trump = Establishment. He built his business working with and as part of a business and political system that is very much pay to play, and he acknowledges this. People are confusing political rhetoric with cold hard reality. The three likely outcomes of a Trump Presidency:

(1) He plays along - most likely.
(2) Continued gridlock.
(3) He spends four years trying to steamroll Congress by vilifying his opponents, scapegoating and executive order abuse - causing a political and constitutional crisis with vague similarities to 1938 Germany.

I'm ambivalent about all the candidates, just mainly concerned about demagoguery at time of economic and social upheaval.

This is a little like saying "why do so many animals fall in love"? Homosexuality, like love, is a human abstraction and doesn't really apply to the broader animal kingdom. Animals are acting more on instinct than we are, and when they pair up it's due to a survivalist instinct rather than a complicated social construct. So the answer is, there are no "gay" animals just like animals don't "fall in love". We are simply projecting our highly abstract concepts onto them.
Yes, and there's a positive feedback loop between the two ("forcing").

The free tier has a very limited history, which defeats the point of using Slack, since you lose your history. And there's really no point in using Slack if you don't have a history you can rely on, might as well use IRC.

I should sit down and add the failed IT projects of the Danish government, but I don't have that kind of time. Our government is notorious for initiating software projects that ends in almost predictable failure.

The latest project to fail was a system for the Danish Tax Office. It was suppose to automatically collect debt owed by citizens and companies.It's not entirely certain how that was suppose to work and it has been described as a utopia project with an unprecedented expectation of what kind of problem computers are capable of handling. The specification where 9000 pages long, tax law not included, and some how failing to supply a sufficient amount of actual requirements. It failed, of cause, costing almost $150.000.000 (DKK 1.000.000.0000), not including the 78 Billion Danish Kroner the tax office haven't been able to collect due the system not being delivered on time and generally not working.

There is a chance that they are using a new aerogel made from cellulose that is prized for its strength and flexibility.

Article:

Publication:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/anie.2014051...

One thing I find interesting is that 'aerogel' is a category of materials. I thought it was reserved for the silica based aerogel i've seen countless news stories about. The wiki definition is "Aerogel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas". Theoretically, you could market fiberglass insulation as 'Aerogel insulation' if you suspended the glass fibers in a gel and then replaced the gel with a gas. The result could have worse insulative properties that standard fiberglass and yet technically be an aerogel.
Android Skype presence colors are messed up.

I compared by running the client on OS X, Win10 and Android in the same time. OS X and Win10 clients seemed to pretty much agree on availability status and to be correct.

But on Android, contacts that are yellow (away) show often as green (available).

Worse, sometimes those who are present show as being offline.

Yeah, pretty random!
I have never found a form, but I have found forums where people complain about persistent issues and nothing gets done. They seem to go out of their way to make it difficult for users to report issues. In addition they seem to have contempt for user experience, or they're incompetent at it, or they are under weird nonsensical licensing pressures that require them to make things difficult for their users. Their front ends need an overhaul and they could easily introduce a "flag this track as having a problem" feature.
